Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, kosher salt, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper and cumin. Divide the mixture in half and reserve 1 half for later use.
- Cut the Boston butt into 6 even pieces and place into a 6 to 8-quart saucepan. Add half of the spice mixture and enough water, 3 to 3 1/2 quarts, to completely cover the meat. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the meat is very tender and falling apart, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove the meat from the cooking liquid to a cutting board. Leave the cooking liquid in the pot. Both meat and liquid need to cool slightly before making dough and handling. Remove any large pieces of fat and shred the meat into small pieces, pulling apart with your hands or using 2 forks.
- Place a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once shimmering, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are semi-translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeno, and remaining half of the spice mixture and continue to cook for another minute. Add the meat and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- While the meat is cooking, place the husks in a large bowl or container and submerge completely in hot water. Soak the husks until they are soft and pliable, at least 45 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- For the dough:
- Place the cornmeal, salt, and baking powder into a large mixing bowl and combine. Add the lard and using your hands, knead together until the lard is well incorporated into the dry mixture. Gradually add enough of the reserved cooking liquid, 3 to 4 cups to create a dough that is like thick mashed potatoes. The dough should be moist but not wet. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and set aside until ready to use.
- To assemble the tamales:
- Remove a corn husks from the water and pat dry to remove excess water. Working in batches of 6, lay the husks on a towel and spread about 2 tablespoons of the dough in an even layer across the wide end of the husk to within 1/2-inch of the edges. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture in a line down the center of the dough. Roll the husk so the dough surrounds the meat, then fold the bottom under to finish creating the tamale. Repeat until all husks, dough and filling are used. Tie the tamales, around the center, individually or in groups of 3, with kitchen twine.
- To cook the tamales:
- Stand the tamales upright on their folded ends, tightly packed together, in the same saucepan used to cook the meat. Add the reserved broth from making the dough and any additional water so the liquid comes to 1-inch below the tops of the tamales. Try not to pour the broth directly into the tops of the tamales. Cover, place over high heat and bring to a boil, approximately 12 minutes. Remove the lid, reduce the heat to low, to maintain a low simmer, and cook until the dough is firm and pulls away easily from the husk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Serve the tamales warm. For a 'wet' hot tamale, serve with additional simmering liquid. Store leftover tamales, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, in the freezer, for up to a month. To reheat, remove the plastic wrap and steam until heated through.;

SWEET COCONUT TAMALES WITH CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS
Sweet tamales are not as well known as their savory cousins, but they are just as delicious and satisfying. Coconut and chocolate are always a good combination, but when you throw sweetened corn masa into the mix you get an unexpected symphony of flavors that seem to have been created just for this dessert. When serving them, I like to create a "tamal bar." This allows my guests to unwrap their tamales and top them with all the toasted coconut, chocolate, and cream they want.

Steps:
- Soak the corn husks in simmering water for 20 minutes. They should be soft and flexible, and turn a deep beige color. Wrap the corn husks in a damp paper towel until you are ready to use them.
- Combine the masa harina with the whole milk and the coconut milk and mix well. The masa should have the consistency of a stiff dough. Set aside.
- Combine the shortening and sugar in a mixing bowl. Using a hand-held or standing electric mixer, beat the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add a quarter of the masa to the shortening mixture and beat until well blended. Add a second quarter of the masa to the mixture and beat until well incorporated. Continue until all the masa is blended. Keep beating for another 5 minutes in order for the dough to achieve the right texture and consistency. You will know you have reached the right texture if a teaspoon of the dough floats in a cup of cold water. If after 15 minutes of constant beating your dough does not float, move on (despite it not floating, the dough will be fine).
- Add 2/3 cup of the toasted coconut flakes to the dough along with the baking powder, cinnamon, and the salt and beat lightly until fully incorporated.
- Place a corn husk lengthwise in front of you with the wide side closest to you. Spread 1/4 cup of the dough all over the bottom half of the corn husk, leaving about a 1-inch-wide border on the left and right side. (See page 51 for photographs showing how to assemble tamales.)
- Pick up the two long sides of the corn husk and unite them, forming a solid log. Roll both sides of the corn husks in the same direction over the tamal. Fold down the empty top section of the corn husk and secure it by tying a thin strip of corn husk around the tamal.
- Repeat this process until all of the corn husks or tamal dough is used up.
- Create a tamal steamer by crumbling a large piece of aluminum foil into a large ball and place the ball in the center of a large saucepan. Arrange the tamales "standing up" around it. You can stand tamales in front of each other, just make sure that the open end of each tamal is facing upward.
- Pour in 1/2 inch of water. Cover tightly with a lid and simmer for 40 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the Mexican crema with the cream of coconut. (You can easily make more by combining equal amounts of each ingredient.)
- Serve the tamales warm. After opening a tamal, top with a sprinkling of shaved chocolate and some of the remaining toasted coconut flakes and drizzle with a bit of coconut cream, or let guests garnish their own. Serve extra toppings on the side.
- INGREDIENTS
- Masa Harina
- The flour used in tamal making is a special cornmeal that has been treated with lime and as such produces the characteristic aroma, flavor, and texture that is associated with tamales. Regular cornmeal cannot be substituted.
- Cream of Coconut
- Do not confuse cream of coconut with coconut milk. Cream of coconut is much sweeter and thicker than the milk. (It is one of the key ingredients in piña coladas.)
- TECHNIQUES
- Toasting Coconut Flakes
- Sprinkle the coconut flakes in single layer on a baking sheet and place in a 300°F oven. Allow to bake for about 8 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Be on the lookout because coconut tends to burn rather quickly. However, it will send out a warning signal with the toasted coconut aroma. So as soon as you smell coconut, check on it.
- Shaving Dark Chocolate
- This is easily done with a bar of chocolate and a vegetable peeler. Hold the bar of chocolate with one hand (you may want to keep part of it in its wrapper so that the chocolate doesn't melt in your hands) and peel off chocolate shavings with the peeler.
- ADVANCE PREPARATION
- Reheating Tamales
- Cooked tamales can be refrigerated for a couple of days and reheated in a steamer or in the microwave. If using the microwave, place the tamales in a bowl and pour in 1/4 inch of water. Seal with plastic wrap and heat for 2 minutes. The steam created within the plastic will reheat the tamales. If reheating in a steamer, recreate the tamal steamer explained in the recipe and steam for 5 minutes.
- Assembled but uncooked tamales can also be frozen. When ready to use, steam them straight from the freezer for 1 hour 20 minutes (twice the cooking time). Do not defrost before cooking.

- Place the chopped pieces of chocolate in a glass bowl and then pour the hot water in. Mix well using a balloon whisk. At the beginning, it will look like it’s curdling, but if you keep beating it, it will become a smooth paste. Now, add the cocoa powder and keep beating until it acquires a thick, creamy texture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours. It will be ready when it looks like thick yogurt.
