TAMALE-STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Prepare corn muffin batter in large bowl as directed on package. Stir in sour cream, corn, cheese and ham.
• Spoon into pepper halves; place on foil-covered baking sheet.
• Bake 30 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers of filling comes out clean. Serve topped with salsa.

TAMALE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Halve the poblanos lengthwise and remove the stems and seeds. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and broil until browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside 5 minutes. Peel off the skin, then roughly chop.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the lard, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Whisk the masa harina, 2 cups hot water and the broth in a separate bowl; add to the lard mixture and mix until smooth.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, garlic, chipotles, cumin and orange zest and cook, stirring, until the scallions are soft, about 2 minutes. Add the plantains, roasted poblanos and capers and season with salt.
• Gently stir the scallion mixture into the masa mixture. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the banana leaves, crossing one over the other, and add the filling. Fold the banana leaves over the filling, tucking them in to seal. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the filling is set, about 1 hour, 15 minutes, uncovering halfway through.

TAMALE STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Mix grits and water and bring to a simmer. Cook about 5 minutes until thickened up. Remove from heat and mix with masa harina. Add in the sausages, some reserved fat from cooking the sausages, the cheese, and cilantro and mix well. Press the tamale mixture into some big cubanelle peppers. This made enough filling for 6 large peppers. Bake at 325 for about an hour and 15 minutes.
• Saute the garlic in olive oil, add tomatoes, vinegar, cumin, and tobasco sauce. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat

STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned.
• Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)
• In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

TAMALE STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Wash and dry and cut green peppers (I cut them in half - stem to bottom to make it easier to stuff or mound the ingredients. You can cut however you like).
• Saute onion and garlic in a bit of oil until translucent. (few minutes).
• Add any of spices you'd like to add to the saute and cook for another min to release the oils -- (1/4 tsp adobo and/or 1/2 tsp cumin / 1 tsp chili powder ).
• Add the onion/garlic mix to a large bowl and then mix the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl to combine.
• Load the peppers with the mix. Place peppers in a baking pan with 1/2 inch to 1 inch water and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
• Garnish with green onions and cilantro - and maybe a bit of sour cream?
