Vegetable biryani

Start with washing some basmati rice and soaking it in water for few minutes.




Add to a pan start to brown adding some olive oil.



Once the rice starts to look cooked, add water and a small amount of kesar (saffron). Add mixed veggies and let it cook.





Top off with some caramelized onions, stir and ready to serve!

Tamale

This one a long process! Start with the tamale flour and mix well.






Then wash the corn husks. Prepare your meat - tinga pollo - or your choice.





Wrap the meat in the corn flour batter.








Place in a steaming cooker - takes about an hour.







Ready to serve - with cabbage salsa!
