1/2 Tbsp evaporated cane sugar

2 oz cottage cheese

4 oz salsa verde

1 lb Rattlesnake beans

4 oz asparagus

2 oz carrots

Instructions

  1. Submerge dried corn husks in hot water to rehydrate.

  4. Divide tamale dough into 4 equal portions and wrap each with a rehydrated corn husk.
  5. Steam tamales for 45 minutes. Remove from steamer and allow to cool slightly.
  6. Unwrap tamale and place in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until tamale has browned well on both sides.
  7. Combine arugula with sliced carrots, sliced radish, and grilled asparagus cut into 1-inch pieces.
  8. Plate tamale and serve with an over-medium egg, salsa verde, Rattlesnake beans, and arugula side salad.

Tip: The tamales can be made ahead of time. Once steamed, they will keep in the fridge for one week, or you can freeze them for up to 2 months.
