Re: Who likes Tamales steamed with banana leafs
They look delicious! I've always wanted to but never felt that I had enough leaves to spare; corn husks are rubbish anyway and free or cheap. I've baked/cooked fish in fig leaves and, of course made stuffed grape leaves; can you imagine using corn husks for either purpose?

Re: Who likes Tamales steamed with banana leafs
I love 'em. Haven't had real good tamales since I lived in Charlotte, NC. Also tacos de carne de cabeza, double wapped in soft white corn tortillas. Charlotte has one of the best quality Mexican restaurants ever - Taqueria Mexico at 7001 South Blvd. Everything tastes like the abuela is doing the cooking!!!

Re: Who likes Tamales steamed with banana leafs

Re: Who likes Tamales steamed with banana leafs
Sorry - imu is Hawaiian style underground oven - build a big fire for about 4 hours, end up with layers, from bottom:
burning charcoal red hot stones ("puka" rocks or other non-exploding type, or fire bricks) banana stumps cut up like celery grade A banana leaves to make a clean deck bundles of food wrapped in ti leaves grade A banana leaves banana stumps cut up like celery grade B banana leaves grade B banana stumps (then usually some combo of tarps and or dirt but just a big pile of chopped up banana plants will do fine) So the food is essentially cooked in banana steam. Good flavor, generally called "kalua", as in "kalua pig". The meat is pulled apart and soaks in hot salty water til served. Everything gets the kalua flavor, even just a potato. |

Re: Who likes Tamales steamed with banana leafs
I like to wrap my snacks in "Mexican pepperleaf" (thanks Kat!) before wrapping in the 'nanner leaves.

 I'm of the opinion that collard leaves will not replace grape leaves no matter how many people sing their praises and argue that they will. I may now live in the south but I am not a fan of collards. (Friends keep loading me up with their surplus; fortunately, I have a neighbor who appreciates the bounty so I can be polite and take a 10lb bag without feeling guilty. Blech. Kale? Not bad. Swiss chard? Yummy. But neither as a wrapper.)

Re: Who likes Tamales steamed with banana leafs
So you eat the banana leaves with the tamales? I'd like to taste some made with leaves. I love tamales.

Re: Who likes Tamales steamed with banana leafs
We just had some chicken breast (which I am not normally a fan of ) wrapped in the pepperleaf & banana leaf; it stayed very moist & tender.
The pepperleaf is not a strong overpowering flavor, maybe we do some bug tailz on the BBQ next! word of caution though, the Piper auritum is considered to be an aggressive grower in some areas, not out here in CA 'cuz the stuff dislikes strong sun & prefers to have its "feet wet". Mine grows under a shade cloth in a small wading pool, standing in 1"-2" of water. I expect it to go great as a 1st wrapper on some tamales!
