Note from John Sedlar:

This tamale dough, made with fresh corn, has a distinctively intense flavor. The fresher and younger the corn, and the less starchy it is, the better.

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon corn oil
3 cups fresh corn kernels
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon semolina flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
Instructions:

Heat the corn oil in a saucepan. Add the corn and bell peppers and sauté over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer three-quarters of the mixture to a blender and blend for 1 minute -- do not over mix. Add the remaining mixture and other ingredients and pulse until thoroughly combined.

Use this dough to make Chef John Sedlar's "Self" Tamale with Vegetable and Carrot Sauce.
