This is one of those recipes that is time intensive, but so cheap and so good that it’s well worth the effort. The entire recipe is about $3.25, including the cost of cooking it.
Tamales and Tomatoes
Ingredients:
1 can Bush’s Pinto Beans (If you’re in the U.K., Australia or virtually any British former protectorate, you can still make this recipe: just double the amount to two cans, and look for gluten-free Heinz Beans.)
1 can Bush’s Hominy (No, they’re not paying me. They’re just cheap, and easy to get in the U.S. =0)
1 3/4 cup Maseca Masa
3/4 cup vegetable oil (I used generic safflower/soy oil.)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt (You can add spices. Garlic salt is an easy add-on. Check that it’s gluten-free.)
Enough water to fill the cooking vessel of your rice cooker.
Kitchen Apparatus:
Rice Cooker (7 cups or larger) with a steamer bowl. (Preferably one you don’t mind voiding the warranty on–this isn’t dangerous, but it’s not quite what they had in mind.) (more…)
