Recipes
Recipes I'm cooking, reverse-engineering, or chasing from memory, written up so I have them in one place. Some are finished. Some are experiments in progress, and the page will say so.
Chicken and Tamales
A childhood comfort-food casserole: chicken thighs tucked between sauce-rich tamales, drenched in a creamy soup base, topped with cheese, and served over rice. Feeds a family of five with leftovers.
Garibaldi-Style Beef Tamales
A copycat recipe for the discontinued Garibaldi frozen beef tamale: the giant California tamale-parlor style with a thick red chili gravy center, reconstructed from public sources and the founding family's own method.
