Time for Tamales!

Its December in Costa Rica and that means tamales are in season!  These delicious treats are a big part of the Latin culture, especially around Christmastime.

Tamales are corn flour based, wrapped in a banana leaf, and stuffed with rice, veggies, and most typically pork, but can be substituted with any meat or even made vegetarian.  In many families it is a tradition to make tamales on Christmas Eve.

Here at COSI we’ll be making our own tamales.  Tomorrow, Thursday, at 1:15p  staff and several mama Ticas will show students how tamales are made.  It’s a great opportunity to get in the holiday spirit Tico style.  Come hungry and ready to do some cookin’!
