Today's Vlog Jason & Lorraine make tamales from their pasture raised organic pork! Shop Our Website: sowtheland.com Subscribe to our Channel: bit.ly/3szsp4Y
We make ours with beef tallow, masa corn flour and corn husks come from Mexico and our harvested beef. We make chicken tamales too. We tried the veggie tamale and those were out of this world!!! We make grandma's favorite tamales...refried beans with a piece of cheese, fresh chopped onions and cilantro with homemade salsa. Now those are the bomb! There is a sweet tamale we make for dessert. The masa is sweet too with your choice of fruit juice as a broth when making your masa. and with added cinnamon. They are filled with pineapple chunks, brown sugar , and a dap of butter. When they are steaming the whole house smells like a bakery, lol. Thank you for sharing your joy with all of us. GOD bless you all!
I think Lorraine is excellent at everything she does. Also family recipes handed down from generation to generation are the best. I admire how all three of you worked together to get things done. You're an awesome family building an awesome farm. Great job! ❣️
I grew up in Southern New Mexico and used to be married to a Hispanic man. His mom taught me how to cook all the traditional foods from scratch, including tamales. I'm remarried now and I got my current husband hooked on those traditional Mexican dishes. I even bought a HUGE tamale steamer pot so I can make a full batch all at once. I make pork tamales with red chilé and chicken tamales with green chilé (like Hatch chiles) Since my kids are grown & gone, it's just us so any we don't eat right away are frozen to eat other times. I like to make mine very thick with lots of filling (unlike the traditional ones) so my tamales tend to be almost the size of tp paper tubes (1.5 inches thick and about 4 inches long) & my husband wouldn't have it any other way. I always serve my pork ones with red chilé sauce (like a gravy) & the chicken ones with green chilé sauce. Either way, we also serve fresh lettuce, tomato & onions on the side because eating them dry is not as nice.
My neighbor from Mexico makes tamales and brings them to me around Christmas every year. They are so good. I never knew how they were made, but this makes me appreciate how much effort goes into making them. I'm hungry for tamales now.
Oh boy...I spent this summer farm sitting for several friends and during which time I rendered 30 plus quarts of lard for a friend whose going thru some health issues and could not get to it so I volunteered. It was way more than I normally would do but for a great cause. Everyone who benefited sure loved it.
How exciting that you make your own tamales! I love making them. Usually we hidrate our masa with the broth and knead it very well, then add the whipped lard to the masa, vwhip it very well. We also add baking powder to the mixture wile whipping it. This tips make for delicious fluffy tamsles!
My family used to make tamales for Chanukkah We borrowed a lobster pot from a neighbor for steaming, which seemed like even more of a cultural/religious matchup.
Nice! I make my tamales with deer from our property but buy my fresh pork. I'll make 10 to 12 dozen, freeze them uncooked and have them for the year. I make my own red sauce too. A good channel for Mexican recipes is Rachel Loves To Cook.
In the late 50's, 60's and 70's there was a guy in Independence, MO who's family made tamales and he had steam carts that sold the tamales on street corners in downtown Kansas Ciry, MO. Always loved it when my dad brought home several dozen tamales from Jim's Tamale Cart. When I went to work downtown, I was able to buy them for lunch! It's hard to find Mexican restaurants now that sell a good, homemade tamale.
What a great job making your tamales!! My husband and I married 43 yrs ago and I learned from the best, my sweet MIL. We have tamale parties in our family and work together while having a good time visiting with each other. I have 2 of the big tamale steamers from Mexico and a smaller one bought from a local grocery store. I give tamales to friends ,family, and neighbors. Labor of love!
As a Cuban we eat tamales. Cuban tamales typically have a fine mince or chop of cooked meat, usually pork or chicken, mixed into the corn batter and fill into corn husk.
I’m Mexican i make tamales 🫔 for Christmas and pozole for new year 🎉👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻Good job girls 😍😍👏🏻👏🏻I make chicken with green salsa pork red salsa and cheese with jalapeños 😋
We always make tamales. We used our farm raised pork and lard. When I was taught it was all about the feel of the masa as you're kneading. We never counted by number made but how many dozens .lol never considered using a mixer.
I have to say that one of the few things I miss about California (besides friends and family) is Tamales! We used to get them at church and my friend Eva also made them every Christmas! You have encouraged me to try my hand at tamales and surprise my husband and son! I also like the sweet ones! 😋
Tamales are mmmmmm GOOD! Used to make them with my grandma, too. Now I make them with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. My favorite Christmas tradition and memories. I'm originally from NM and we used to make blue corn tamales.
I've made tamales in the past with no problems. This year, however, was different. The first time I made a wonderful beef filling. My masa dough came out perfect. The problem arose when I did not want to have too much masa on my tamales so I spread it too thin. My tamales came out a pile of meat with pretty much absent masa. In fact, yours did the same thing. I remade them another time with a wonderful chicken filling. I made sure to use more masa when making them. They came out better but they still didn't have enough dough on the tamales. I gave up. Our piles of meat came out wonderful but you really couldn't call them tamales. I admire all those Hispanic ladies who whip out perfect tamales. It's not easy.
Sent you a note on your last video .If you hit a rock cut the bottom off the post that goes on top of it if it's straight that way it will still slide over lower post. great videos
I love tamales, but to me it’s not complete without an olive in each tamal! I made them one year all by myself, man what a job! Looks like you all did a great job!
I absolutely love tamales of all kinds, I even love the green corn tamales .A good friend of mine used to make them all at Christmas but she’s now passed. I sure miss them.❤
Lorraine, I’ve found that different things work for hiccups at different times. Lying down helps sometimes, drinking a soda works other times, and eating a spoonful of sugar can also help. Once in a while, taking slow deep breaths, and exhaling slowly will get rid of them. Some people say tasting something very sour, such as lemon juice or vinegar will help. I have never needed to try that one, because the other methods work for me, but everyone is different. I hope you find something that works for you!
We live in CT and my whole family lives in CA, last year my husband and I made our own tamales last year; it’s one of my favorite traditions passed down from my Mexican family. We still use my great grandmother’s mole recipe for the red ones.
Reminds me of my wife's mother making pasteles . . . first time I had one on the plate I had to use all my worth to eat it . . . the funny part was when we went back home to Toronto I started craving them . . . now I make them but in Nova Scotia I can't buy green cooking bananas. Great video cheers.
Easy masa hack..tortilla press and a zip lock. cut the sides so only the bottom is attached. Put a large tbsp in the middle and flatten. It comes out like a tortilla, fill and put in the husk. Made 20 dozen for turkey day 😊
Properly sealed canned food DOES NOT EXPIRE with time. I have canning over 20 years old that I canned that is just as good and tasty as when I canned it!
I remember when I was 9 or 10...Ms Gonzalez next door decided all us girls needed to learn to make tamales...been making them ever since.. Thank you for my remembering...
What a labor of love & tradition! I learned how to make them with some Hispanic women making them in a kitchen at the school I worked at. They used a press (square homemade) to press the masa on the corn husks. I only made them once, but watching the wonderful women making them for a fundraiser was so much fun & a great memory! My daughter's friend's mother made sweet ones for the holidays. She would drive several hours to buy fresh ground corn for her masa. Thank you for the video & sharing your memories of Grandma❤️
I learned how to make tamales from a Mexican friend in California many years ago. I was breeding dairy goats at the time and found that this was the perfect way to use our older cull does in a spicy red chili. My friend also showed me how to make tamales dulces (sweet tamales). I make a sweet filling of rice flavored with cinnamon and raisins soaked in brandy. This fills the masa. So, so good!
So many good memories popped up watching you guys make tamales. My mother in law used to make tamales. She would makes 30=40 dozens . It was a big family deal, daughters, daughter in laws and tias would show up after work, mother in law would have everything ready and we just sat around the dinning room table to spread and fill the corn husks. Though my mother in law would cook pig heads for the meat, instead of a pork roast. lots of red chili sauce, also red sauce in the masa. The reward was of course, eating freshly cooked tamales, catching up with family and making memories. Thanks for sharing your tamale making session.
I’ve never eaten a tamale but those looked delicious! For hiccups, I used to drink water (bend your body over forward to about waist level) & sip water out of the wrong edge of the glass (while bent over). It worked for the many times I had them. 🤗💗🇨🇦
Lorraine sharing a remedy that uses 1 tsp organic raw apple cider vinegar unfiltered to 2 tsp filtered water. Add both to a cup take a sip then drink the remainder up. Then stimulate the vagus nerve by sticking your pointer fingers in each ear gently and slowly move in circles 10x’s. Depending on how intense the hiccups are you may have to repeat, but it usually works.
💚 So fun to be with you all making tamales in your cozy kitchen. I love tamales, but haven't made them. So cool you have your own lard, pork, chicken and broth from yhe land! Oiy about the hiccups, Lorraine 😮💚
I went to a tamale making class a year ago and then never tried by myself until two weeks ago. I saw a tamale recipe video on TikTok and was like ok it’s time! I made the masa from scratch and followed the red beef recipe and did it all in the Instapot! They turned out so good! My family loved them! I’m excited to try other flavors!
My brother's wife was of Mexican descent and a very good cook. The first time she made tamales I asked how do you eat these things? He said like a taco. Never seen them laugh so hard!!
Poor Loraine! Get a paper lunch sack and breathe in and out while holding it around your mouth. It always worked for me. I don't like people to scare the crap out of me. LOL Although, that does work. Loved watching y'all make those! Yummy!
Lorraine, forget any other advice for getting rid of hiccups apart from this. It 100% works every time if you do it correctly. You use your fore fingers to plug your ears (and plug them as best you can) then you have someone else hold your nose (as if trying to stop a nose bleed) at the same time take a few sips of water (your helper will have to help you with their spare hand. It sounds ridiculous, and I dont know the science behind it but I promise you it works! Lin. UK x
Yum, Christmas tamales! Organic everything for your Christmas homemade and homegrown tamales. Thanks for showing how you make them. So sorry your glass bowl cracked! I like the look of your Masa! Wow, 50 tamales. So cute! They looked delicious! Thanks for this video Contreras family!
I have a lot of family members on my dads side who are mexican and one year for thanksgiving we went up there and there were tamales. Being my first time eating them as a kid I didn't know you weren't suppose to eat the corn husk and nobody stopped me. It was soft enough to bite through so I didn't think nothing of it and it tasted good, but when I got home I got the worst sickness I ever had. Throwing up black stuff eventually after throwing up all day long. Most of what else I ate was my mothers food and she's never gotten me sick so I know it was the tamales lol.
Yay Tamales! 🥰 good job. I Used to make them every Christmas. Big fat ones. Red chile/pork & green chile chicken with cheese. Also made sweet tamales with pineapple & raisins. Great memories!
I use to love when we’d all get together and make tamales mmm. My Aunt had the best recipe. When we lived in New Orleans we’d buy the famous Manuel’s Hot Tamales. Great…now I’m hungry for tamales lol. PS… whatcha gonna do with that dishwasher?
Tamales!!!! I lived in Guanajuato Mexico for a few months and there were a couple people every evening I could find on street corners selling hot tamales. The most surprising to me were the pineapple tamales.
I want 2 year old ham now😂. We're making tamales next week, og from socal now living in Nuevo Mexico . May the Contreras family have a Merry Merry Christmas Peace ✌
My For Hiccups... Fill a glass with water..hold it in front of you. Bend all the way over towards your shoes..drink on the opposite side of the glass while upside down and dont spill any...my Grandfathers remedy.. if it doesnt work, take the remainder water in the glass and throw it on Jason😂😊
I been making tamales for years. Add warm water so the masa not so thick easier to spread. Peanut butter consistent. My family like pizza tamales as well. You may want to try. Great job Lorraine.
HICCUPS: My son and my Granddaughter get the hiccups and it lasts a very long time. I scared them... Nope .... Drank water upside down... Nope.... Then finally .... I gave Brian a Tablespoon of sugar and Praise the Lord that worked. Lorraine might try that next time and see if it works. It also worked for Rosie too.
Looks amazing! Wish there was such a thing called smell -o-vision!!! I've never made tamales, love pork tamales. A good friend of my sister (when she was alive) years ago would come to the house Christmas morning with a Christmas gift of a plate of tamales. OMG, they were warm, and delicious!!!!
My mother used to love to drive into New Orleans and buy homemade tamales from Manuel’s tamales stand along Clearview Boulevard in Metairie after crossing the Huey P. Great family memory…those tamales never lasted very long…lol
Oh my gosh knowing y’all are from California I’m so happy to see a good tamale. I was raised in LA we would go to my dads uncles house and help make his. So good. I’m in Texas now and let me tell you tamales here can’t stand up to a California one. ❤
I'm Mexican and have made tamales my whole life. This is a fun video and you did a great job!! Yum!
Awesome! Thank you!
Chili sauce?😊😊

It was way more than I normally would do but for a great cause. Everyone who benefited sure loved it.
My mother in law always tested the masa by putting a small amount into a glass of warm water. If it floated, it was ready.
Lorraine you have done it again! I love a good tamale. It was good to see everyone working together.
How exciting that you make your own tamales! I love making them. Usually we hidrate our masa with the broth and knead it very well, then add the whipped lard to the masa, vwhip it very well. We also add baking powder to the mixture wile whipping it. This tips make for delicious fluffy tamsles!
I have my Christmas tamales from old Mexico!!! Not from home grown supplies, but delicious. BUT, you forgot the olives!!!
My family used to make tamales for Chanukkah
We borrowed a lobster pot from a neighbor for steaming, which seemed like even more of a cultural/religious matchup.
Okay, now I am craving tamales!
The water catchment system is genius!
Nice! I make my tamales with deer from our property but buy my fresh pork.
I'll make 10 to 12 dozen, freeze them uncooked and have them for the year.
I make my own red sauce too. A good channel for Mexican recipes is Rachel Loves To Cook.
For hiccups, try one tbsp. of white sugar in 10 oz. of warm water. Mix until clear and chug it down. Should rid you of hiccups.
It works like a miracle ever since I was little, thanks to my beloved Grandma 🙏🏼
I usually eat a spoon of sugar.
We're gonna do this here on our homestead, too. Yum! Thanks for sharing.
Have fun!

I have had tamales from Jim's tamale cart back when I was a kid, near the old Sears building😃

I go to Mexican village in Detroit and that is exactly how they sell them, by the dozen😊
Wow thanks for the video I have to make some. I love tamales and They look so delicious

Those tamales look amazing!
A tamale is heaven in a husk!! Love, love, love them!
This is for Lorraine. Boo! hope that helped with the hiccups, great job guys
Homemade tamales are the best! ❤

"TAMALIS" and "MENUDO" is a famous Filipino delicacy😀
we use banana leaves or taro leaves as a wrap, and small fish as main ingredient...

I grew up in CA and our neighbors always made them every year and gave them to us! So much fun watching you all make them with your homegrown stuff!
I love tamales. God bless.
yum! thanks
Mexico doesn't allow GMO corn. Therefore corn husks from Mexico are non-GMO
sounds great
I didn't know that
Wish the US was the same!
@@emmz.... Yep. GMO Corn was banned in Mexico in 2020. Maseca corn masa is made in Mexico.
Great video and your family tradition keeps on going on to the next generation
I’m not a bit Mexican, but learned how to make them. Made them on Sunday. Good that day and taking them to work on Monday.
We love using banana leaves to make our tamales. We planted some banana plants so we can use them specifically for making them
We live in CT and my whole family lives in CA, last year my husband and I made our own tamales last year; it’s one of my favorite traditions passed down from my Mexican family. We still use my great grandmother’s mole recipe for the red ones.
Reminds me of my wife's mother making pasteles . . . first time I had one on the plate I had to use all my worth to eat it . . . the funny part was when we went back home to Toronto I started craving them . . . now I make them but in Nova Scotia I can't buy green cooking bananas. Great video cheers.
Easy masa hack..tortilla press and a zip lock. cut the sides so only the bottom is attached. Put a large tbsp in the middle and flatten. It comes out like a tortilla, fill and put in the husk. Made 20 dozen for turkey day 😊
How awesome! I've never been brave enough to attempt tamales, but this inspires me. I love watching Rick Bayless and trying his recipes.
Properly sealed canned food DOES NOT EXPIRE with time. I have canning over 20 years old that I canned that is just as good and tasty as when I canned it!
Description of a tamale: pure goodness!! 😂😂😉😊
I love tamales. The real kind. The last time I had them was in Mexico when I was a teenager. (Many years ago)
Good looking tamales.
I freeze my tamales raw and then steam when I want to use them. They’re always fresh then. AZ Native♥️
I remember when I was 9 or 10...Ms Gonzalez next door decided all us girls needed to learn to make tamales...been making them ever since..
Thank you for my remembering...
What a labor of love & tradition! I learned how to make them with some Hispanic women making them in a kitchen at the school I worked at.

Thank you for sharing our culture with the East coast. Great video.
They are a tradition at Christmas in New Mexico. I didn't know how they are made. I was told you need a steamer so I bought one. Thanks for the info.
For hiccups, take a deep breath and hold it for 10 seconds and then let it out slowly. Usually works.
Thank you. As an Australian I had no idea what a tamale was. Now I know.

sounds like a drinking game at our next party 🙃
@@SowtheLand Only if you have hiccups! :)
Mmmm… love tamales!
I have never in my whole life eaten a tamale. Now I need to find a place to try one.
God willing, this weekend will be a tamale making party for us!! Love your channel!❤
We usually have tamales at New years, and i really miss a certain friends Tamales, who has long since gone to their reward, they were the best!
Good job Guys, when I run out of filling I use spinach and cheese and my favorite refried beans.
Yum, Christmas tamales! Organic everything for your Christmas homemade and homegrown tamales. Thanks for showing how you make them. So sorry your glass bowl cracked! I like the look of your Masa! Wow, 50 tamales. So cute! They looked delicious! Thanks for this video Contreras family!
I have a lot of family members on my dads side who are mexican and one year for thanksgiving we went up there and there were tamales. Being my first time eating them as a kid I didn't know you weren't suppose to eat the corn husk and nobody stopped me.

Throwing up black stuff eventually after throwing up all day long. Most of what else I ate was my mothers food and she's never gotten me sick so I know it was the tamales lol.
I've had hiccup attacks my whole life! Tamales look yum.
Yay Tamales! 🥰 good job. I Used to make them every Christmas. Big fat ones. Red chile/pork & green chile chicken with cheese. Also made sweet tamales with pineapple & raisins. Great memories!

May the Contreras family have a Merry Merry Christmas

Thank you for this video really enjoyed. It never really knew how tamales were made awesome video guys.😊
I haven't had a good tamale since I moved away from California forty years ago. Never tried to make any myself.
My For Hiccups... Fill a glass with water..hold it in front of you. Bend all the way over towards your shoes..drink on the opposite side of the glass while upside down and dont spill any...my Grandfathers remedy.. if it doesnt work, take the remainder water in the glass and throw it on Jason😂😊
I been making tamales for years. Add warm water so the masa not so thick easier to spread. Peanut butter consistent. My family like pizza tamales as well. You may want to try. Great job Lorraine.
I love your family. ❤
HICCUPS: My son and my Granddaughter get the hiccups and it lasts a very long time. I scared them... Nope .... Drank water upside down... Nope.... Then finally .... I gave Brian a Tablespoon of sugar and Praise the Lord that worked. Lorraine might try that next time and see if it works. It also worked for Rosie too.
I love tamales..........Hugs and Prayers ya'll
Definitely need more family cooking videos. I made the turkey stock last week now I want to make these tamales too!
You’re so patient with the hiccups, Lorraine !❤
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Love me some tamales
Looks amazing! Wish there was such a thing called smell -o-vision!!! I've never made tamales, love pork tamales. A good friend of my sister (when she was alive) years ago would come to the house Christmas morning with a Christmas gift of a plate of tamales. OMG, they were warm, and delicious!!!!
My mother used to love to drive into New Orleans and buy homemade tamales from Manuel’s tamales stand along Clearview Boulevard in Metairie after crossing the Huey P. Great family memory…those tamales never lasted very long…lol
Oh my gosh knowing y’all are from California I’m so happy to see a good tamale. I was raised in LA we would go to my dads uncles house and help make his. So good. I’m in Texas now and let me tell you tamales here can’t stand up to a California one. ❤
Tamales making is a science well done!!!
Those tamales look so good. I live in Texas, so you can find tamales anywhere.
