Nacatamal

I totally forgot about posting last week. OOPS.
Like in many Latin American countries, Nicaragua also has its own tamale. Introducing the Nacatamal. This thing is bigger and stuffed with more food than your average Mexican tamale. This thing comes with rice, tomatoes, chicken or pork, vinegar, and some other things. Its signature feature is the plantain leaves that cover it.You know this has to be a yummy.





check out this blog for the recipe

    Wow that's the biggest tamale I've seen! In Puerto Rico we also have something similar to a tamale.They're called Pastels and they are also covered in plantain leaves. They're not as big as this one is though.
