Cup
Tamales
First made
popular at San Francisco's Johnson's Tamale Parlor in the 1920's.
Cup Tamales are little quick tamales made in small cups rather than
wrapped in the customary corn husks. Tamale parlors were very
popular in San Francisco in the early 1900's. Roosevelt Tamale Parlor is
still open today and in fact was remodeled and reopened in June, 2006.
The recipe below is from
the San
Francisco Chronicle, May 1995. While not a
traditional recipe it does make up a quick batch of cup tamales.

Preheat oven to: 350 degrees F
Combine hominy, lard, chile
powder and salt in a food processor and puree.
Use about 2/3 of the mixture to line individual greased ramekins.
Vegetable oil spray works well for this.
Combine meats, salsa, marinade to taste, tomato, cilantro, raisins and
olives. Season to taste with cinnamon and cumin.
Spoon into ramekins or casserole. Top with remaining hominy mixture.
Cover each ramekin or the casserole with foil. Place in a water-filled
pan and bake for one hour.
To Serve:
To plate, run a thin, small-blade knife around the edge of the ramekin
and turn the tamale onto a plate. Top with warmed tamale sauce
(optional) and a dollop of
crema.
Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
