We got hit up by an East Coast cohort of ours who was looking for a sweet and savory dessert recipe to make for one of his new female friends he was to be entertaining for the evening.
With today being National Raisins & Spice Day, and figuring since the guy hardly eats meat and is trying to turn vegetarian at some point in his life, we would give his a great recipe for a sweet yet savory Tamale that would give his date the impression he could cook (and was intuitive enough to not order takeout.)
Needless to say the date was a success, the Tamales came out perfect and we couldn’t be happier (well that is unless he paid us for this lesson,) but hey who are we to complain, we do this for the love of food and full stomachs.
Now back to the recipe, these Tamales go perfect with a bit of Black Beans & fresh Mango, so we decided why not give you all the steps to make yourself a delicious dessert (that doesn't cost that much.)
Enjoy this dish and make sure you let them know how many painstaking hours it took you in the kitchen to pull it off.
