Thanks Rick so much for joining us

I've said it once and I'll say it twice, this man is a legend.

No tamales anywhere in England, Kent. Fifteen minutes ago, I didn't know what a tamale was. Come over here, sir. Come to England. Your education is very much needed.

He was a pretty good T-ball coach too, when I was just kid. I run a small ranch for one of the best horse surgeons in Purcell Oklahoma. I watch every show

I am1 to say I did and I learned something about making them

Get with this white boy for some papers.

Yee haa! get your traditions on... haha

Right??? Lol

I'm Tex-Mex and my Grandpa was a cowboy. But my Momo taught me to make tamales.

Girl, I'm Mexican and know how how to make tamales since I was 16 years old.

I do that every time and its so good

Dont forget the lime!

Easiest way to gain weight. Eating tamales

Easiest way to be skinny and boring. Not eating tamales.

Yesss!!!

Good for you I love this show too

Thanks Evelyn for watching

Same!

Same😋❤

@@bertozepol4359 May God forgive you for being so selfish! Shame on you!

Evelyn Flores 🌹

Thanks so much and we are all family here, I love foods of all. kinds and if we can bring folks to the table and get them to share and visit well that is a recipe for happiness here at our house

this hermano likes sushi...and has a video for making it...how bad can he be?...greatest yt channel ever...💛...

@Punished Aniquin no one asked.

Oh god. Stick your culture up your ass kid

@@Alhawaii1 What's that supposed to mean? Don't be so rude.

Fernando aranza Rodriguez It wuld be texmex

Amazing crossover!

Sorry i have to vote for De mi rancho ! Shes baddass

Fierro con ese crossover

Fernando aranza Rodriguez damn that would be 🔥!!!

Thanks for watching

They really aren’t hard to make but really time consuming. But worth it.

@@needtoknow1989 I mean yes, I’m an ok cook and I still make errors like that. It takes a lot of skill, practice, and attention to detail to cook food “perfectly” It’s easy to cook something passable and I’ve made plenty of, we shall say, passable meals. It takes repeated practice to get every detail right. I spent years watching the egg station guy at a breakfast buffet make sunny side up eggs, my favorite style, and I would time him, watch how he set his burner, etc and even after that I can only get them right maybe 75% of the time.

But why wouldn't he? Or many others???

Thanks Staci for joining us

@yo mama you really should be ashamed

He really does, I always have to check to see what he does different than my other favorite chefs because I always can learn from him and he always contributes useful knowledge to expand my skills, and I am more skilled than your average bear!

nicole p that what u think b

Staci A. G. SAME ! I’m Spanish mexican and he doing it right !

Sounds good

I had some of that plantain with red sauce and pork drppings over rice and or red kidney beans. Delicious. 1982 Killeen Texas, Borencan Music block Party. Roast pig on hot coals underground. An experience I'll never forget. ❤

CowboyKR It’s not plantains that used is green bananas!🙏🏽🍀💜🇵🇷

@@alg1335 It may have been green bananas, after punching holes in the bottom of a coffee can to use as a grater. We grated the green bananas/plantains and wrapped the grated substance into 3-4×2&half blocks with appeared to be corn husks. Might be another name for corn husk, but that's what I called em. Tied them off with cotton string one way and then the other and boiled in water for about 30 minutes. The time may be off a bit. Please forgive me It's been nearly 41 year ago.

Thanks for watching

AMEN to that ! Made a subscriber outta me ! Kent reminds me of my late dad, who also loved to cook !

Exactly, first time watching him today and he is already making his way to my top ten list

Thanks they are fine dinning

you can use pork,meat, chicken , or vegetables of your choice .

Thanks Marilyn for watching

Thanks for watching

Agreed 100%! As a white boy from Ohio i didn't experience good Mexican food until i got stationed in Southern California and married a Mexican! It's one of my favorites now

Thanks for watching

Texas?

@@asyouknowmesoiam Oklahoma

Thanks Ricardo and my mother said food is not only to be eaten but to bring folks together, Feliz Navidad to you my friend

I hope with Kent's help an amateur can make Tamales, now I am a little worried. He made it look do-able.

Ricardo Martinez Feliz Navidad to you too!

I love it Ricardo! From a southern white boy who's never tasted a tamale (but would!) Feliz Navidad!

For some of us, Tex-Mex food goes back to our earliest childhood memories, and I'm Anglo. I have never fixed homemade tamales, though. -- I can buy fresh frozen tamales at the grocery store from either a local (in-town) company or from a regional company (I think that one's based in San Antonio.) -- If you have never had real tamales, look for them online, or make some homemade. They are warm, hearty, homestyle favorites, and people will take them in their lunchboxes to work sites. -- Chicken, beef, or pork are the most usual fillings, but I've seen black bean (frijoles negros), spinach, and "roasted vegetable" tamales. (The roasted veggies are onions, bell peppers, and a mild pepper, maybe poblano, and a couple of other veggies. Tamales are a traditional family thing for many people for the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, where mothers and grandmothers, aunts, uncles, dads, grandfathers, and the kids all will help make them, and visit. Feliz Navidad a todos. It is part of the Southwestern and cowboy / vaquero tradition that formed this part of the country, from Texas to California. we are stronger together. Our differences are us richer, just like spices in cooking.

That's right, when you see the Beagle with tears in his eyes when he's doing his business, it's time to back off on the peppers !!

@@oqwazyme4616 Dogs cant taste capsaician.

Good one! Lol..

@@subhazard4297 lol who said? The taste scientist? Reminds me of people that say fish can't feel pain lol

Crakers

Thanks so much and tell your Mother Merry Christmas

Rickstir... You best get in that kitchen and learn the traditional ways of making them so you can pass it down to ur children and then have ur grandchildren in the kitchen with u one day too!!! You'll be making more than tamales.... Makin' memories that last a lifetime and then some. Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad and wishing you a very blessed New Year!

got some of that El Paso love goin here XD . . . i miss EP a lot, grew up there, just off Scenic Drive(rim/robinson), but i havent been back since like 98 :(

I love ittt!!!

Me too dude

Saludos. Let us know how it goes!

@@texastea5686 yes 😁

Why can't you make them???

Thanks so much for taking time to watch

Thanks for watching and they are good eating

👍

Nice!!

You're surprised he knows how to make perfect tamales

Pretty easy to make, it's not rocket surgery!

That was corny as hell mai boi

As a Mexican you should be ashamed of yourself 😂. We don’t do things to lift us up it’s always negative things. Use that energy to open up a non profit and help out your raza so they have real presents to unwrap 😂

Actually, that's pretty much the truth when growing up Mexican with 10 other siblings. I can relate to that.

Lionel Palomares because Catholics don’t believe in abortion or contraceptives 😂

@@edo153 I like your comment, and I'm not even Catholic.

Thanks Jody and God bless. you as well

Cowboy Kent Rollins amen. I’m Hispanic (Puerto Rican), and I see that this man is a great person, he also is a true chef, the dude can cook anything! I can’t wait til his “Mofongo De Camarones”video comes out for that Caribbean connection lol

Thanks for watching

I agree. Kent needs a show on a network!

Hes a Cristian dont think he would fit in

@@CowboyKentRollins and for that we love you

Thanks for watching

Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words, I'm proud you are sharing with the neighbors. God bless you as well

@joonie bear Thank you so much for the tip, misses. I'll give it a go and if you stick around I'll tell you how it went. Very nice of you to add some useful information, highly appreciated Ma'am.

mexico has their own polkas

@@ancogaming Don't use banana leaves, they affect the taste. Southern mexicans and caribbean countries use banana leaves, but they don't taste as good imo.

you can actually use foil instead of corn husks.

Thank you both for watching

Thank you for watching

Thanks Matt and that is so thoughtful, Merry Christmas to you

Oooh, Thstvwould be a great gift.

Our pleasure Scott

Well Tabasco is amateur sauce for us Mexicans, we eat tamales with a really super hot salsa and if you have a hangover, this is the remedy tamales and super hot salsa, you'll be fine in a couple of hours. Merry Christmas.

Jose....I know when I eat jalapenos, they clear my stuffy sinuses and kill about every bad germ in my body I think! You should share your recipe for the hot salsa... Don't be teasing all of us!!! lol L :)

Thank you for watching

@@CowboyKentRollins you're coming in a close second of how my mother Cook's. Not Spanish. If you can make anything, she can. ❤️

Well they were good secrets to keep our woman cherished. But now every cowboy and hipster dont need a wife lol

Thanks for watching

yo ya venía preparando mis emojis de indignación, pero el señor es un maestro tamalero respect

Mister Kat a good chef will cook good food, no matter where he’s from

Mister Kat why are you so defensive? Calm the hell down, his comment was giving the man his props.

Why do you callhim gringo for tho? Be respectful

This is encouraging :)

@Markovich Usted está hablando de Rachel Ray. LOL

Él es un mexícano honorario.

Vaquero Kent

No Brasil há uma comida parecida chamada pamonha.

Raynard you beat me to it. I was thinking the same thing

Raynard Ledford Kent has been on several Food Network shows. Throwdown! with Bobby Flay and Cutthroat Kitchen, both of which he won. Chopped Grill Masters where he came in 2nd place to Ernest Servantes. Chopped Redemption where he again came in 2nd. He was also a judge on Kids BBQ Championship-Cowboy Campfire. He was undefeated on NBC’s Food Fighters. Unfortunately, with wife Sharon by his side everywhere he goes, I don't think he's looking for another sidekick. Sorry man.

Thanks Gene so much for watching and Happy New Year to you

Stay strong and stay safe

Thanks Angel

Thanks Raul for watching

Your English is great

So glad you enjoyed and Happy New Year to you

Food, family and friends its makes the best recipes

My friend it is always a blessing to hear from you, be safe, God bless and Merry Christmas

SuperDave21 Only thing I can add to that is........ EXACTLY !! 😆

SuperDave21: Merry Christmas to Your Family. Awesome Comment, and I Second. H.

SuperDave21:Well said, couldn't have said it better. Thanks to Kent and Shannon (the beagle :-) ( RIP Frank) for all your hard work and commitment to put out these videos. I found Kent and Shannon not long ago and have watch every video (I think) and never miss a new one. It's like when you can't wait for your favorite T.V. show to come on every week. Without a doubt the best and most enjoyable videos on KZfaq. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. God Bless

Ya'll made me cry a bit with sharing all the love in your comment and the replies as well. Your comment was very well put and from the heart. How could anyone not tear up! Merry Christmas and have a blessed New Year. L :)

Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas to you

Thanks and that does sound good

Mexican hot chocolate is truly something everyone should taste. At the Mayan pyramids, I overdosed and haven't been right since.

Greetings from Sacramento CA

Mexican Hot chocolate-Tequila with fresh milk from a cow, some grounded up abuelitas chocolate warmed up 🔥🔥

@@CowboyKentRollins to hell with this red devil

@@bertozepol4359 cool story bro

Cowboy Kent Rollins those tamales look so good! Make the sweet pineapple ones and strawberry ones!

He's invited to the carne asada 👌

Thanks for watching

I do like them with deer meat

I've even used a veal roast that we had to make them.

I'm in Texas, specifically the Rio Grande Valley. Around here we love cream cheese tamales, chicken with cream cheese (doesn't taste well with pork), fresh jalapeño slices with cream cheese. Of course regular pork is yummy too. You ought to give them a try.

@@lcastano44 yeah we make those cream cheese jalapeño. When we get tired of rolling them and still have ingredients we make "tamale balls". We roll the masa around the meat into a ball and then toss em in the fryer.

Thanks Joaquin for watching and Merry Christmas to you

Thanks and that is what its all about, bringing family together

Thank you for watching and they are time consuming but well worth the effort

-j rdr2 does that to a man

Same here 😆

Lmao

Thanks Jeorge for watching

Thanks Heather

What is address for his cookbook

Rita, Go to kentrollins.com and you can find it! I can break a horse but I can’t figure out to copy a link!! I tried and I’ll stick to horses!!

The best way to make fresh biscuits is wit lard

I do love some pure lard

you realize it's not only lard which affects how long you'll live?

@@CowboyKentRollins did you miss all that snow down south?. Im from maryland and im sure glad it didnt come up here . But its a nice day to do some grilling here now.

Anything naturally made is always better for ya, it's that fake stuff they try to get you to buy that's bad like that oil crap made to look like butter, only use real butter!
