Dutch babies, tamales guatemaltecos, mince pies, panettone, bibingka and more - culinary holiday traditions based on LAist staff suggestions
The Guatemalan tamale made with rice flour, chicken, olive, bell pepper and banana leaf.
For the paches, Erwin makes a sauce with toasted sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, chiles, and tomatoes, which is then scooped onto either chicken, pork, or a vegetarian friendly mushroom/kale melange.For tamales de arroz guatemaltecos, you make rice on the stove and keep adding water, butter and oil — it turns to a rice porridge — which is then blended into a sticky base where meat and vegetables can be added. The meat and veggies are raw, so they are cooked by the steamer.
Bibingka is the holiday dessert that most feels like home for Kristine, a sweet soft and spongy rice cake baked in a terracotta bowl wrapped with a banana leaf. Christmas in the Philippines is huge.

She says she's lucky to still have some relatives in their 90s, who filled up on these protein-dense delicacies during the Great Depression.
She tells me “it’s a dish first written about in the 14th century, as a way to preserve meat by adding raisins and cloves and cinnamon and other spices in a pie.
