Newspaper article ingredients:

 

40 dried corn husks

4 cups harina de maiz nixtamalizado azul (blue corn masa flour)

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 cups meat or vegetable broth (e.g. braising liquid from the meat)

1 pound vegetable shortening (2 ¼ cups)

3 ¾ cups Carne con Chile Rojo for filling (see recipe)

 

Carne Con Chile Rojo

 

For the braised bison:

 

2 tablespoons maple or raw sugar

1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

2 pounds boneless bison or beef chuck roast

¼ cup olive oil

4 cups vegetable broth

2 ripe tomatoes

½ medium white onion

10 dried California or New Mexico chiles (2 ½ ounces)

2 fresh sage sprigs

2 fresh or dried bay leaves

½ cup pure maple syrup

 

For the Chile Rojo:

 

10 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed

4 dried chiles de arbol, stemmed

2 garlic cloves, peeled

¼ medium white onion

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, plus more to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

 

Instructions too long to copy.  Looks like it takes a while to make.  Braising 
the meat alone is 3 ½ hours.  When steaming the tamales, it says to put a few 
coins in the bottom of the steamer and when they stop clattering you need to 
add water.  Nice photo of tamales vertical in steamer.

 

As far as good tamales in Chicago, I haven’t found them, but I live in the 
suburbs.  There is a famous Tamale Guy who almost died from Covid but has 
recovered.

Other people must have the same plan, to make lasagna over the holiday.  I 
should have bought ricotta cheese the other day when I only saw 2 on the shelf, 
everybody is out now.  I hesitated because we don’t have enough people to 
consume a whole pan of lasagna, debating whether to freeze half before or after 
baking.
