MELANIE'S RICH AND CREAMY GREEN CHILI AND CORN TAMALES
I actually just finished making this dish for my Next Food Network Star audition video. I think Karma was on my side today because it came out better than ANY batch of tamales I ever made.

Steps:
- Do all prep work with the corn and green chilis.
- Clean and rinse the corn husks. Place in a large bowl and soak in hot water for about 30 minutes.
- Make the masa by mixing together all of the masa ingredients with a mixer. The consistency should end up similar to a chocolate chip cookie dough, slightly wetter.
- Make the filling by stirring together all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl.
- Spread masa in center of each corn husks. Sometimes you may need to use two corn husks to make it wide enough. I like my tamales to be very thick and large, so you want to spread it into a rectangular shape approximately 6 inches by 3-4 inches, depending on the shape of your corn husks.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of the masa in each corn husk.
- Roll like a burrito, ensuring the filling is sealed on all sides with masa.
- Place in a steamer and cook the batch together for approximately 45-60 minutes. You want the masa to be cooked but not overcooked. It will still appear a bit wet when tested, but not stick to the corn husk.
- Serve with a bit of shredded cheese, fresh scallions, and cilantro -- and sour cream if you desire!
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Soak the corn husks in a bowl of hot water until pliable, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the dough: Combine the masa harina and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the corn and 1/2 cup hot water until combined. Add the butter and mix with your hands until evenly distributed.
- Remove the corn husks from the water and shake dry. Unfold the husks on a clean surface (discard any small husks or husks with holes). Put about 1/4 cup dough down the center of a husk; fold in the long sides to enclose the filling, then fold in the top and bottom to make a packet. Secure with kitchen twine. Repeat with the remaining dough and husks.
- Set up a steamer basket in a large pot filled with 2 inches of water. Arrange the tamales standing up in the steamer and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the tamales are firm, about 1 hour. Remove from the steamer and let rest 10 minutes before unwrapping.

Steps:
- Cut both ends of corn, remove husks and save for wrapping. Cut corn kernels off the cob. In a food processor, grind the kernels with the cornmeal.
- Beat shortening and butter together until creamy. Add the sugar, half-and-half and salt. Add the corn mixture and mix well.
- For each tamale, overlap 2 corn husks. Spread some of the corn mixture onto the husks. Place 1 cheese strip and 1 chile strip on top of the mixture. Top with more corn masa. Bring the edges of the corn husks over the filling to cover completely. Place the husk on a piece of square parchment paper. Fold ends of corn husks, then fold sides of parchment over tamale and fold up ends. Tie string around ends to hold in place. Continue until all tamales are tied. Place on a rack and steam approximately 35 to 45 minutes.
GREEN CORN TAMALES
I have been making Green Corn Tamales for years. They are different than regular tamales and are time comsuming but well worth it. It really helps to have another person to help with the wrapping. My DH usually helps, he is good at husking the corn and clean up. I usually make when corn is in season & cheap. My family loves them. The original recipe comes from a restaurant and I made some changes.This makes 12 to 16 good sized tamales.

GREEN CHILI & CORN TAMALE FILLING
I have become known amongst our friends and relatives as the white east coast girl that can make darn good tamales. Here is the filling for my green chili & corn tamales that I have perfected during the last few years. As usual, I can't say that my measurements are exact...but....the key here is fresh ingredients, butter, and cream!

GREEN CHILE/CORN TAMALES
This summer treat can only be made when fresh corn is available, but it's well worth the wait. Subtle flavors of corn, green chile peppers and seasonings are rolled in a masa harina dough...just like your traditional Holiday tamales! These freeze well. Can also be made with vegetable stock for a meat-free variety.

Steps:
- 1. Make the masa dough: In a large mixing bowl put dry masa mix. Make a well in the masa, add salt and shortening. Add part of the broth and work it into the masa mixture with hands or pastry blender. Work in additional broth until mixture is light and fluffy. Masa is crumbly but will form a ball when lightly pressed into your hand. Cover and chill overnight.
- 2. Prepare the corn shucks: Slice off the ends of each ear with a sharp knife. Carefully peel off each shuck, leaving them whole so you can use them for wrapping the tamales. A bit of cornsilk left on is OK because it adds fresh corn flavor! (Shucks need to be checked for dirt, mold, etc. I wash mine in a sink with hot water and a few drops of dish detergent, then rinse them in hot water.)The shucks need to remain moist and pliable.
- 3. Make the Filling: Cut corn kernals from each cob (avoiding the tough inner parts of them) and set aside about 4 cups of kernals. In a large pan mix 4 cups corn kernals, onion, and all the dry seasoning ingredients. Mix in oil and sautee the mixture over medium heat until corn is tender (not mushy). To the sauteed corn mixture, add chopped chile peppers, garlic and cilantro. Simmer slowly for another 10 minutes. If necessary let excess liquid evaporate, then cover and cool the mixture. When mixture is cool, add shredded cheese. Mix well.
- 4. Filling the tamales: Holding a shuck with one hand, put a thin layer of masa dough and spread edge to edge on the shuck. Spoon some filling onto it and fold up to seal. (Since God doesn't make all shucks the same size and thickness, some roll very easily into the desired shape, but others won't. So on a few you may have to use two shucks (one around the other). These don't have to be pretty -- You don't eat the shucks!) Leave one end open and fold the other end over to close it. (Some folks tie strings on tamales to keep wrappers closed, but I find this unnecessary when using green corn shucks.)
- 5. Steaming Tamales: Make sure your steamer rack keeps food at least 1 inch above boiling water. Put 2 layers of tamales on the rack, cover, and steam over a medium boil for 25 to 30 minutes. To test doneness, remove one from the steamer and look in the open end. Gently open a space between the dough and the shuck. Dough will be firm and will show the striations from the shuck imprinted on it. Repeat steaming in layers until all are cooked. I pack them into freezer bags. Thawing in the microwave oven is not recommended.)
MELANIE'S CHILI
This chili is so easy to make and is so good! Trust me. To make a double batch, double everything except the meat and onion. Use 1 can each of pinto and kidney beans, that is how I normally make it.
