I dont remember how I got to this page, but I am currently making this dish, I have it in the oven right now. since I live in Mexico in the border with Tx. and I dont have a visa, we have an HEB store 45 min. from here and I got the jiffy corn mix from that store. traditional tamales are so hard to make, like I read from the chef note they are more a ritual than a recipe and is so true. my mother makes them only in winter time, and I love to help out, since she makes kilos of masa not few tamales hundreds of them. for all the family and they are more delicious if you eat them the day after you cook them. will taste my hot tamale pie later at work. will post if I like it or not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808368055814925039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-69759138861848052742014-09-11T09:33:35.910-04:002014-09-11T09:33:35.910-04:00What can I use to substitute the egg?

I hope you enjoyed your [mandatory] vaca...Hi Chef,<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed your [mandatory] vacation! For your returning amusement, may I present the following review:<br /><br />I believe my cooking-prowess would best be described as: "semi-frequently manages to not burn water if she's focused on the task" - so I'm no stranger to recipes that appear to over commit and under deliver... <br /><br />I was looking for a way to safely dispose of some Jiffy that was left behind from some mad science project or another, and stumbled upon your instructions here; decided this was as good as any.<br /><br />I'm sure a classically trained chef such as yourself would regard this in utter disgust, but I'm also a vegetarian, so needed to make a "few" substitutions. For beef, I substituted a "replacement" from a company whose name sounds like they grow nina weapons, and are owned by a ginormous company that starts with a 'K' and ends up in a 'raft'.<br /><br />I gutted a couple pablanos, tossed in some seasoning, the pablanos, a couple left-over cans of green chilis, some fresh Portabellas, a small onion, salt, pepper, and whatever that hairy stuff in the back of the fridge was from that Mexican restaurant the health department closed down into the food processor, and hit the "Pew! Pew! DIE FOOD!" button a few times. Into the big 18" stir fry pan went the fake meat and a little garlic with some grape seed oil, browned it all up, then dumped in the salsa, the chopped-up gunk, and the corn. Let that stew for a bit while I "prepared" the batter (without hurting myself!) and assembled as instructed.<br /><br />It came out of the oven and... HOLY COW! That is the tastiest thing I've ever cooked! (which might not mean much considering my normal evening cooking ritual involves opening a package and pressing "3-Start" on the nuke-box-thing, or asking if the Chef can substitute a vegetarian menu option)<br /><br />Seriously - that is downright tasty! And so easy, even *I* can manage to not screw it up!<br /><br />It's like Chili and Cornbread with the Cornbread built right in. Self-contained Chili and Cornbread. The addition of the portabellas make it really quite savory and help to cut back the sweetness of the bread-corn-product.<br /><br />This is something I'd feed to people I actually _like!_ (now I just need to meet some of those...)<br /><br />Regardless, thank you for delivering such an easy to follow tasty treat and making me feel like I'm not beyond salvation in the kitchen. I'm anxious to have a look at some of your other yummy-looking instructions!<br /><br />- JodieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097623623145572019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-73325856623880627442012-09-21T16:40:08.984-04:002012-09-21T16:40:08.984-04:00Saw this and wanted to try it, didn't have the...Saw this and wanted to try it, didn't have the Jiffy but used a recipe for cornbread that was a little too sweet otherwise great idea, I will make it again and just cut the sugar in half.happyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11442824239326851473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-45377433331646254742012-03-07T23:04:48.476-05:002012-03-07T23:04:48.476-05:00It looks fine, but here is the YT version. http:/...It looks fine, but here is the YT version. http://youtu.be/6pk1atQECIcChef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-36490888655940990622012-03-07T20:11:38.616-05:002012-03-07T20:11:38.616-05:00I have made this before......delicious!!!!
