Time for Tamales!
Posted by admin | Filed under Actividades, COSI Activity, Holiday
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’!
