3-1/2 sticks Earth Balance natural shortening
3 c. vegetable broth (approx.)
salt to taste
1 t. garlic powder
2-8oz packs Follow Your Heart vegan "cheese", monterey jack style
3 c. green chilies
dried corn husks (pre cleaned is best)

Here is how you make Vegan Chile and Cheese Tamales:

Place dried corn husks in a large bowl and cover with warm water.Roast and peel chiles, cut or tear into strips from 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide, set aside.Cut each block of FYH cheese into 18 logs. (This is because I'm not that fond of it, so we use just a bit flavor.)Mix masa, salt and garlic. Warm shortening to soft consistency and add to dry mix. blend it in, then kneed in the broth a little at a time until the dough is smooth, tacky, and a little moist. This can be done in a stand mixer in 1/2 batches.Take husks from water and shake water off. Spread a thin layer of masa dough on the husk, about 2/3 of the length, then on top of that place a piece of cheese, and a stip or 2 or 3 of chile. Wrap into a tube, then fold up the un-masaed end. If desired, tie a very thin strip of husk around the folded end.I found this video of how to spread and fold the tamale. (Ignore whatevr weird thing they are using for stuffing.):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He90Am8jbegSteam the tamales for about 1-1/2 hours.Number of Servings: 36Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SUEHERM.
