How To Make Tamales with Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
Join me, Claire Saffitz, as I dive into the world of tamale-making with Executive Chef Rick Lopez of La Condesa Restaurant in Austin, Texas. Rick takes me through the entire process of making fresh masa for tamales, revealing the fascinating art of nixtamalization. We'll be crafting two mouthwatering tamale variations—one filled with cochinita pibil and another featuring a delightful mushroom filling, both beautifully wrapped in banana leaves. Come along and witness the delicious journey of how these incredible tamales come to life at one of Austin's favorite dining spots!
