Directions:
- Soak 50 corn shucks for several hours in hot water, each trimmed to about 4 x6 .
- For the Filling:.
- Cut pork in 3 chunks and boil in water for about 45 minutes or until tender.
- RESERVE THE STOCK.
- Remove any excess fat. shred pork (like making pulled pork for bbq).
- In mixing bowl add 1 cup stock and all the spices to the meat, set aside in fridge till ready to stuff the tamales.
- For the Corn Shells:.
- Work the shortening into the corn meal by hand or mixer. Add salt, then the stock, mixing well. The resulting paste will be thick.
- When the corn shucks are soft and pliable remove one at a time to form the tamale. leave the rest in the water till ready to use so they stay pliable.
- With off set spatula or table knife spread some corn paste (masa) into the middle of the corn shuck; about 2 x4 and 1/8 thick.
- Spread a tbs of the meat filling into middle of the masa. (if you've ever seen someone prepare to roll a cigarette you'll have the idea.).
- Now here's where you will need to practice a bit:.
- When rolling up the tamale don't roll the corn shuck up inside of the masa.
- The shuck will help you roll the masa in the way a bamboo mat helps you roll a spring roll.
- When the tamale is rolled the shuck should be loosely wrapped about it. (the masa will expand while being steamed).
- Tie the ends of the shuck closed and set aside.
- Repeat till all the ingredients are used.
- Place tamales in a single layer on steamer rack. (i use a lidded dutch oven with a roasting rack).
- Steam over boiling water for 1 hour.
- Sauce can be made with any left over stock.
