  • About

Tamales de Pipián are typical of the Valle del Cauca region—and are something out of this world. They are smaller than other tamales, somewhat like an appetizer size. They contain a yellow potato mixture called pipián, and are served with an extraordinary hot Ají de Maní. They are not hard to prepare; just read the recipe several times to put some of the steps in order in your mind and go. Enjoy, as they are really worth it.
