Guy's Big Bite Season 3 Episode 9 Tamale Never Knows

Tamale Never Knows is the ninth episode of third season of the popular cooking show Guy's Big Bite, starring celebrity chef Guy Fieri. In this episode, Fieri takes on the challenge of cooking up some delicious yet easy-to-make tamales, an iconic Mexican dish that he has been a fan of since a long time.

The episode begins with Fieri introducing the dish and sharing his fond memories of eating tamales with his family and friends. He explains that tamales are a traditional food that can be made in a variety of ways, and that his recipe is his own take on the classic dish.

Fieri then gets into the kitchen to show viewers how to make the basic tamale dough, or masa. He starts by mixing masa harina, a type of corn flour, with some warm chicken broth and sets it aside. While the masa is resting, he prepares the filling for the tamales.

For the filling, Fieri opts for a delicious and easy-to-make homemade salsa that he prepares by blending together some tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro. Once the salsa is ready, he mixes it with some shredded cooked chicken and sets it aside.

Next, Fieri shows viewers how to assemble the tamales. He takes a corn husk, spreads a generous amount of the masa dough on it, and then adds a spoonful of the chicken and salsa mixture. He then rolls up the tamale and ties it with a string. He repeats the process, making sure to leave some space at the top of each tamale so that the masa can expand as it cooks.

Once all the tamales are assembled, Fieri places them in a large pot with some water and steams them for about an hour, until they are cooked through and the masa is cooked and fluffy.

To finish off the dish, Fieri makes a simple yet delicious crema, a Mexican sour cream, by mixing some sour cream with a bit of lime juice and salt. He serves the tamales with the crema and some chopped cilantro on top.

Throughout the episode, Fieri shares helpful tips and tricks for making the perfect tamales, such as how to soften the corn husks so that they are easier to work with, and how to know when the tamales are fully cooked.

Overall, Tamale Never Knows is a fun and informative episode of Guy's Big Bite that teaches viewers how to make a classic Mexican dish with a twist. Whether you're an experienced cook or just starting out in the kitchen, Fieri's easy-to-follow instructions and expert tips make this episode a must-watch for anyone who loves good food.
