Green chili shrimp and corn tamales part 2 of 3 - tamale

12 Tamales

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 Ears of corn (Kernels removed from cob)
2 ounces Butter
Truffle oil (as desired)
Salt (to taste)
Maple syrup (to taste)
12 Dried corn husks; tied at either end to resemble a boot

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor puree the corn kernels on high for 30 seconds. Transfer to a buttered casserole dish and place in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes - checking and shirring every five minutes or so to keep from developing too much brown color. The objective here is to cook out as much of the water from the puree as we can. This will make it thicker and will also intensify its flavor. Remove from oven and transfer to a bowl. Season with salt, maple syrup and as much of the truffle oil as you like. Spoon mixture evenly into the twelve corn husk boots.
