Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 oz. dried corn husks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1 3\/4 cups masa
1 1\/4 cups hot water
1 1\/2 cups part skim ricotta cheese
1\/4 cup canola oil
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 cups corn meal
1\/3 – 3\/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2 cups winter squash
15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
4 oz cn chopped green chiles, drained
3\/4 tsp salt
3\/4 cup crumbled goat cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Prepare wrappers: Soak corn husks in a large bowl. Weight down with a large plate or bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Prepare batter: Put masa and 1 1\/4 cups hot water in large bowl; stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Beat ricatta, oil, baking powder and salt in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high speed for 2 minutes. Reduce to low speed. Add cornmeal and mix until combined. Add the ricotta mixture to the masa mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in broth 1\/4 cup at a time until the batter is very moist and spreadable, but not runny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Prepare filling: Place squash puree in a fine-mesh sieve and gently squeeze out excess liquid. Transfer to a medium bowl; add beans, chiles and salt. Stir until combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Assemble tamales: Drain the corn husks and pat dry. Sort through and pick out 16 large, unblemished husks to use as wrappers. Cut 2 dozen thin, long strips from remaining husks to use as ties (or use kitchen string). Cover husks and ties with a damp cloth to keep moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with one husk at a time. Unfold and lay flat. Spread 1\/3 cup of batter onto husk in a 4 inch square, leaving a wide border at the top and bottom. Spoon 2 tbsp of the filling in a long strip down the center. Sprinkle with goat cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring the two long ends of the husk together, causing the batter to completely surround the filling – don’t fold the sides yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fold in the bottom and top of the corn husks in. Then fold the left and right side. Keep fold-side down. Tie with corn strip or string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a husk breaks, just wrap a second husk over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Steam Tamales: 1 hour – add water as necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
