Candelaria is a famous celebration celebrated in many different countries, such as Spain, Mexico, Peru, Chile, and others. This year, thanks to some new friends and companions of FMD, I have discovered how this party is celebrated in Mexico. The Mexican tradition wants that whoever found the figure of the baby Jesus hidden in the Roscón de Reyes, make a great party in his house where everybody eats tamales.

The tamale is a dish of Indo-American origin prepared normally based on corn dough filled with meats, vegetables and other ingredients. This dough is wrapped in corn cob or banana leaves and cooked in water or steamed. I discovered this dish by my friend Ceci who prepares some great chicken tamales, thanks to her I have decided to prepare my own version of vegan tamales. You can fill them with what you prefer. I hope you like it!

  6. On a flat surface, put 4 leaves of corn previously soaked. Place 1/4 of the mass obtained in each leaf.
