Provided by Molly O'Neill

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons anise seeds
2 cups water
2 to 3 dried pasilla or chipotle chilies
5 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled
2 1/2 cups canned black beans, drained
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt to taste
4 basic tamales (see recipe), using only 2 cups masa harina and 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
2 cups cooked or canned pumpkin puree (if unavailable, use sweet potato or yam puree)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Combine anise seeds and water in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1 cup. Place the chilies in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until very soft, 10 to 20 minutes. Drain and remove the stems. Place the anise mixture, chilies, garlic and beans in a food processor. Process until smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a medium-size, heavy skillet over medium heat. When very hot but not smoking, add the bean puree, watching out for spatters. Simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Cool to room temperature.
  • Follow the directions for basic tamales, adding the pumpkin puree to the lard a little at a time with the masa harina mixture. Beat in the cinnamon and sugar with the salt.

I had a hard time finding pumpkin puree, so I used canned pumpkin instead. It worked out fine.
