                                         Maybe you have seen the delicious dark chocolate vegan cheesecake whose major ingredients are chickpeas and firm tofu? I got to thinking that, hey, other vegan cheesecakes could have this same unusual foundation and be just as yummy (and high protein, for those who are looking for additional protein in their vegan diet).

Corn Tamale Bake Recipe (Gluten-free, Egg-free, Dairy-free)

Image
Here is another of Wyona's Hertwig's delicious adaptations of ethnic yumminess -- corn tamales.  I discovered that this recipe can be made without any oil (just saut é  with a little water) and if you don't have fresh tomatoes on hand, 3/4 C. of a favourite tomato salsa can make up for the missing tomatoes.  This dish pairs nicely with some baked beans and a cabbage salad.  (I also included a great little Youtube video of the making of more 'traditional' tamales-- but gluten-free and vegan). Enjoy! SAUT Ē : *1 T. Oil *1 large Onion , chopped *1 green Bell Pepper , chopped *1 red Bell Pepper , chopped *2 cloves Garlic , minced ADD : *3 diced Tomatoes *1 C. Cornmeal *1/2 C. Water *1/2 tsp. Salt *1/2 C. chopped Olives *Pinch Cayenne or any other Chili Pepper Seasoning you prefer POUR into well-greased dish BAKE at 350F for approximately 30 minutes How To Make "World's Best Tamales" (Gluten-Free; Vegan)
