REAL HOMEMADE TAMALES
I had been looking for a Tamale recipe for years. One day I went to the international market and stood in the Mexican aisle till a woman with a full cart came by. I just asked her if she knew how to make Tamales. This is her recipe with a few additions from me. The pork can be substituted with either chicken or beef. This is great served with refried beans and a salad.

Steps:
- Place pork into a Dutch oven with onion and garlic, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the meat is cooked through, about 2 hours.
- Use rubber gloves to remove stems and seeds from the chile pods. Place chiles in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then remove from heat to cool. Transfer the chiles and water to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture, stir in salt, and set aside. Shred the cooked meat and mix in one cup of the chile sauce.
- Soak the corn husks in a bowl of warm water. In a large bowl, beat the lard with a tablespoon of the broth until fluffy. Combine the masa harina, baking powder and salt; stir into the lard mixture, adding more broth as necessary to form a spongy dough.
- Spread the dough out over the corn husks to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. Place one tablespoon of the meat filling into the center. Fold the sides of the husks in toward the center and place in a steamer. Steam for 1 hour.
- Remove tamales from husks and drizzle remaining chile sauce over. Top with sour cream. For a creamy sauce, mix sour cream into the chile sauce.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn husks. Dried corn husks can be brittle and difficult to work with. If you can't find fresh corn husks, you can soak dried corn husks in warm water for 30 minutes to soften them.
- Make sure the masa harina is fresh. Masa harina is a type of corn flour used to make tamales. If the masa harina is old, it can be gritty and have a sour taste.
- Season the masa harina well. You can add salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, or other spices to the masa harina to taste.
- Don't overfill the tamales. If you overfill the tamales, they will be difficult to wrap and cook properly.
- Steam the tamales for at least 30 minutes. This will ensure that the tamales are cooked through.
- Serve the tamales with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Tamales are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make tamales at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
