@glutenfreegf_: As a Mexican American woman, this Christmas, I'm honoring my deep roots on Turtle Island (the indigenous name for North America) by making holiday treats that celebrate ancestral ingredients. I'm taking the opportunity to learn about the history and culture of ingredients indigenous to this land. I've put my own spin on these sweet blue corn tamales that are traditional to the indigenous people of the southwest. I followed @thefancynavajo’s recipe from her cookbook but added the berry compote she suggests to serve with to the inside! They are made with roasted blue cornmeal and juniper ash and are made vegan as is traditional. The blue cornmeal flavor is so delicate and robust these are my new go to sweet tamales for the season #vegan #tamales #glutenfree #tamaleseason #tamale
