About Homemade pork tamales
Homemade Pork Tamales are a staple of Mexican cuisine, known for their rich flavors and comforting texture. They consist of seasoned, tender shredded pork encased in a light masa dough made from corn flour and lard, then wrapped in a corn husk and steamed to perfection. The savory pork filling is often slow-cooked with spices like chili powder, cumin, and garlic for deep, complex flavor. Tamales are naturally gluten-free due to the use of masa and are high in protein from the pork. However, the inclusion of lard in the dough can contribute to higher saturated fat content, making moderation key. They are a delicious and traditional dish often enjoyed during holidays and celebrations, offering a hearty and flavorful bite tied deeply to cultural roots. Pairing them with fresh vegetables or a side salad can help balance the meal nutritionally.
