Pork in Red Chile Filling for Tamales
Yield: 2 cups, enough for 16 tamales
Recipe from Season 6 of Mexico - One Plate at a TimeIngredients
1/3 cup top-quality chile powder without salt
3/4 teaspoon salt if no salt in chile powder
1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons fresh masa or masa harina
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup roughly chopped green olives
Salt, if necessary
3/4 teaspoon salt if no salt in chile powder
1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons fresh masa or masa harina
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup roughly chopped green olives
Salt, if necessary
Directions
In a medium (3-quart) saucepan, whisk
together the chile powder, salt and 3 cups water. Add the meat and
bring to a boil over high heat. Partially cover and reduce the
temperature to keep the liquid at a gentle simmer until the meat is
fall-apart tender, about 1 hour. Let cool for a few minutes, then use a
slotted spoon to remove the meat. Pour 1/2 cup water into a small bowl
and whisk in the masa or masa harina until thoroughly blended. Return
the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Strain in the masa mixture,
and whisk until the mixture boils and thickens slightly. Remove from
the heat, taste and season with additional salt if necessary.
Use fingers or 2 forks to break the meat into coarse shreds. Scoop into a bowl and stir in the raisins and olives along with one cup of the thickened sauce. You can save the rest of the sauce, rewarm it and serve it over the tamales, if you wish.
