Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat the lard until it’s melted.
- 2
Mix the tamale flour with the baking powder and salt. While mixing, gradually add the broth and melted lard until the dough has the consistency of tortilla dough, about 10 minutes on high speed.
- 3
Grease the ring mold with lard and dust it with a little all-purpose flour so the dough doesn’t stick.
- 4
Add half the dough to the mold. Make a small well in the center and add the meat filling. Cover the edges and top with the rest of the dough, but don’t press down so the filling stays inside.
- 5
Cover the mold with aluminum foil, or use the lid if it has one.
- 6
For the Instant Pot: Add 1 cup of water, place the rack inside, and set the mold on top. Close the lid and select Pressure Cook for 40 minutes. For a stovetop pressure cooker: Place the mold in a water bath over medium heat for about 60 minutes. For stovetop cooking: Place the mold in a water bath in a tall pot over medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours, checking occasionally to add more water if needed.

Let it rest for ten minutes before releasing the steam. Enjoy!

Easiest Tamales Ever Easiest Tamales Ever
I love mexican food but tamales can be so time consuming! So I did what I could and cut down the time, and also just made it easier in general. Still time consuming but not as much. Im not a huge meat eater but you can eliminate my filling for a meat filling if you have your own recipe. You can also use corn husks if you want more presentation and more work lol.

California Tamale Pie California Tamale Pie
This casserole can be prepared pretty quickly and is fairly customizable. You can dial the spice level up or down, select your favorite ground meat and cheese, and omit or substitute some ingredients (e.g. if you don’t like olives, maybe try adding a little extra corn or bell pepper).Since my three year old doesn’t like spice, I had to make a non-spicy version, but I would have liked to throw some green chiles in! 🥵 🌶 💕. Maybe next time… Modified from Valerie’s Kitchen

Instant Pot Curry Instant Pot Curry
This has been my go-to meal prep during quarantine. It’s healthy and makes a lot of food. I have the Instant Pot Ultra which allows me to sous vide the chicken, instructions for which I have included here. If your instant pot does not have the “Ultra” mode, you can of course cook the chicken any way you want; or you can leave it out and make this a veggie curry! But I would not recommend pressure cooking the chicken in the pot with the rest of the vegetables.

Easy Rafute in a Pressure Cooker Easy Rafute in a Pressure Cooker
I learned this recipe from a friend of mine in Okinawa. But the only problem was that it didn't suit well with my everyday chores. I decided to use the pressure cooker instead of "long hours of simmering", and sure enough, it worked!You can probably do 1 or 2 more times of the boiling and draining process as needed.The meat will have a nicer look if you have it cut rather large.The ratio of sugar and soy sauce is basically 1 : 1 . Please adjust it to your taste. I prefer to make it sweeter. It's good to add some miso too. Recipe by Te-03
