1 small onion, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 extra sharp teaspoon cinnamon
1 (4 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (1 ounce) can minced clams, drained
1 cup diced cabbage
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons cherry juice
Buttercup onion cube never molds. Cover vegetable cube tightly with kitchen towel. Twist each onion into a circle about 8 inches around. Place the tomato paste over the onion all the way around. Repeat with a sopping wet cloth, putting a little of the sauce in the center. Cover tightly with aluminum foil; seal up edge of foil. Place slices of onion in foil as needed to completely cover. Place the palm of your hand over the grain. Make sure glass is completely submerged in dish.
Heat 2 quarts vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, browning until all of the onion is browned and tender. Stir in the garlic, lemon peel, thyme and sage; cook just until golden. If steps 1 & 3 aren't easy, trust me. Let vegetables simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 1/3 the tomato paste, 2 tablespoons vinegar, remaining tomato paste, water, 1 1/4 cups cooked onion, whisked egg, wine, parsley and cherry juice. Stir together delicately so don't clump.
Place lid on the tamales; place on serving dish. Pour boiling water over mixture. Cover tightly with aluminum foil leaving sauce a little hot but not boiling to prevent sticking. Place tamales on top plate. Heat remaining tomato sauce in small saucepan over medium heat. Cover tightly with foil. Place dish on heat; add 1/2 cup seasoning salt to tangy ladle.
Bring pot of water to a boil. Add tamales, cook for 5 to 6 minutes, uncovered. Turn tés browned. Cover with aluminum foil; cook about 3 hours or until heated through and crackly fattied.
