Meats Pork, Southwest 48 Servings

INGREDIENTS

4 lb Pork shoulder
6 c Water
6 T To 8 chile powder
1/8 t Oregano, optional
1/4 t Cumin, optional
2 Garlic, chopped fine
5 lb Masa corn meal flour
1 lb Lard
Pork broth from above
48 Corn husks, dried

INSTRUCTIONS

Tamales: Boil meat in water until tender. Remove meat from broth,
saving broth for making dough and chile.  Chop meat in 1/4 inch  pieces
and place in pan.  Disolve chile powder in 1 1/2 cups of the  meat
broth, add to the meat, add garlic, spices and salt, and cook  until
almost dry. Set aside, while preparing dough (masa).  Masa for Tamales:
Cream lard in a medium size mixing bowl, using a  mixer at medium
speed.  Add flour and mix.  Add enough of the meat  broth to make dough
spreadable with a table knife.  Assembling the Tamales: Rinse corn
husks and soak in warm water until  pliable.  Spread the center portion
of each husk with 2 tb of the masa  mixture. Top with the chile meat
filling. Varied amounts of either  the masa or thee filling may be used
(some like them thin, some like  more of the filling).  Fold the sides
of the hushs toward the center,  the bottom of the husk up the top
down.  Tie each tamale top and  bottom with a narrow corn husk strip.
Pour 2 inches of water in a large kettle and arrange the tamales on a
rack above water level.  Steam tamales for about 40 minutes. WALT  New
