Tender Tamale Variation

Blend tomatoes, corn, olives and sautéed onion in  blender on low to fine chop them. Add the rest of the ingredients as listed.

 I mix everything together in a large bowl.

Then I added my olives.

   ---   Grinding cornmeal   ---

 I grind my own cornmeal by grinding popcorn. It is softer to grind an makes great cornmeal. I use a Magic Mill for my grinding.

Pour everything into a greased pan.
