Food Pairing: Open Face Chicken Tamale Asian Style and Your Favorite IPA!
Author: Sudz | Filed under: News
There’s no secret that most spicy foods pair well with IPAs. The flavors of spice and hops compliment each other perfectly. Spicy foods bring out the brilliant floral notes and hoppy flavors of your favorite IPA. So tonight I thought I would explore food a bit and came up with this open face chicken tamale – I paired this with a Marin IPA (not shown in picture because I guzzled it down too quick!)
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 1hr 15mins
Perfect with your favorite IPA!
Chicken Tamale Thai Style
Sweet corn cake with garlic, sea salt and ground peper to reduce sweetness of the corn cake.
Grilled chicken in lemon, garlic, cilantro, ground pepper and sea salt marinade
cilantro, thai sweet chili sauce and siracha for garnish

Directions:
Mix corn cake mix, cream corn, 1 garlic clove minced, sea salt, fresh ground pepper pour into baking dish – bake 45 mins
While corn mix is baking, grill chicken and prep garnish (cilantro).
Let the corn cake rest and then roll small ‘tamales’, grill the bottom in small pan with olive oil to produce a crisp texture.
Garnish with cilantro
top with grilled chicken
warm tamatio (sp) salasa
garnish plate with sweet thai chili sauce and siracha
Not bad for my first run. I took my eye off the chicken for a few mins and charred it up a bit. Oh well, came out surprisingly well.

Sounds super tasty! Did you make this recipe???

You should try grinding some pellet hops into dust and using them in the sauce or something.

Yes I made this up – I wish i had some hop pellets handy! I thought about making a sauce using the IPA as a base.

Yeah, there are recipes out there that use the dry hop pellets. Order some up from Austin or B3.
