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

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.
