Recipe

Soak the corn husks in a bowl of warm water.
 
 
Chuck the corn. With a knife take off the corn kernels and add to blender. Blend and stir with a spoon. You don’t want to blend until smooth. It should be chunky.

Add the corn meal. Cook for around 10 minutes until mixture becomes somewhat thick. Add the blue cheese and adobo sauce.
 
 
Spread the dough out over the corn husks to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.  Fold the sides of the husks in toward the center and place in a steamer. Tie string around the tamales to ensure the filling doesn ’t come out.
 
Steam for 25 minutes.
