TAMALES WRAPPED IN BANANA LEAVES
The people in southern Mexico often wrap their tamales in banana leaves instead of corn husks, first wilting the leaves by quickly holding them over a flame or a very hot electric burner. It is said that "the good tamale is known by its wrapper," so try to make a secure and attractive package. Frozen banana leaves from the Philippines can be found in most Asian and Mexican markets.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, cover pork with water and add 1 garlic clove, 1 onion quarter and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until the pork is tender, 45-60 minutes. Shred the meat, reserving the stock.
- Heat a comal or iron skillet over medium heat. Place the chiles in the hot skillet, using a spatula to press them against it slightly. Turn them so that both sides begin to change color. This will take 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Place the chiles in a bowl, cover with warm water and soak for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the tomatoes on a comal or griddle and grill until the skin is charred. Alternatively, put the tomatoes in a baking pan lined with foil and broil until skin is blackened, turning once. Peel and purée in a blender.
- Roast the other onion quarter, 2 cloves garlic, marjoram, peppercorns and cloves. Drain the chiles and transfer to a blender. Add the roasted onion, garlic, marjoram, peppercorns, cloves and 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) of reserved stock, then purée until smooth.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the lard in a skillet and sauté the chile purée in it for 5 minutes. Add the puréed tomatoes and sauté for another 5 minutes; add the pork, stir and cover. Lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes.
- Hold the banana leaf directly over the heat for 5 seconds. Cut into 5-in (13 cm) squares.
- Knead the masa with 2 tablespoons (1 oz/30 g) of the lard for 5 minutes.
- Use the remaining lard to grease one side of the banana leaf. Place 3-in (7.5-cm) square of masa on the lard and top with 1 1/2 tablespoons of pork mixture.
- Fold the opposite edges of the leaf toward the center, then do the same with the same outer edges to form a closed rectangle. To secure tie the tamales with narrow strips of leaf.
- Place 2 cups (16 oz fl oz/500 ml) water in a pressure cooker, then cover the steamer basket with a layer of flattened banana leaves. Add the tamales to the steamer basket and cover with another layer of leaves. Place the lid on the pan and cook 20 minutes. If you use an ordinary steamer, follow the same procedure but use 4 cups (32 fl oz/1 L) water and cook for 1 hour.
- Serve warm, with frijoles refritos (refried beans).

COLOMBIAN TAMALES
This is one of my husband's favorite "Comfort Foods" (he's Colombian). He even said I made it right the first time I tried! The process is relatively involved - overnight marinating is recommended and it steams for three hours. It is nothing like Mexican Tamales or "Hot Tamales". These are wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks, are much larger, and not as spicy hot.

Steps:
- Prepare the marinade the night before you plan to make the tamales. Chop one bunch of green onions. Mince 2 garlic cloves. Combine, then add 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1 packet of sazon. Rub mixture all over both chicken and ribs. Place meat in separate plastic baggies to marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
- Next make the "hogao," a kind of sofrito. Combine chopped tomatoes, 1 bunch of chopped green onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 packet of sazon, 1/6 cup of chopped cilantro, olive oil and salt to taste in a skillet and saute until everything is soft and tender, kind of like a mush. Cool and refrigerate until ready to assemble tamales.
- Now you can make the "pique" sauce. Combine 1 bunch chopped green onions, 3 cloves minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, remaining chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, sugar, vinegar and salt to taste. Make this at least 2 hours before serving so flavors develop.
- Prepare masa harina according to package directions except use chicken broth in place of water and salt to taste. This mixture should have flavor unlike an arepa which is more bland (my husband says the masa is the best part). It should be fairly moist, but still stay together like a dough when pressed. If it is too wet you can still use it, it is just more messy.
- Now the hardest part is assembling them. Place about 1/4 cup of dough in the center of a banana leaf and spread it out. Put one rib and one chicken thigh piece on top. Place about 3 slices of the carrots, 6 potato sticks and 3 slices egg on top of the meat. Sprinkle with peas. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the "hogao" (sofrito) over all, then top with another 1/2 cup of spread out masa. This does not have to be uniform or even neat.
- Next pull up the sides of the banana leaf to form a packet. Tie with kitchen string, but do not let any of the filling seep out (I told you it was hard). If the leaves break just reinforce with extra banana leaves. Wrap packet in aluminum foil. Repeat 5 times.
- They are now ready to steam. Use a large Dutch oven with a steamer insert so the tamales do not touch the water in the bottom of the Dutch oven. These need to cook about 3 hours. You probably will have to replenish the water during the cooking process. Stack the tamales all the way to the top in the steamer pot and turn up the heat to high. If your pot does not hold all of them, just refrigerate or freeze the rest until you can steam them later. When you hear the water boiling furiously, turn the heat down to medium.
- Serve the tamales on a section of banana leaf. With the "pique" sauce on the side to be drizzled on bites of the tamale.

COLOMBIAN TAMALES IN BANANA LEAVES
Steps:
- Put all marinade ingredients into blender and blend for 2 minutes. Divide marinade into two separate medium bowls. Add chicken cubes to one bowl, mix briefly, cover and place in the refrigerator. Add pork cubes to second bowl. Mix briefly, cover and place in the refrigerator. Leave both to marinate over night. The next day simmer meats separately in their own marinades in medium- sized saucepans for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, peel potatoes, slice them into 1/8" rounds and put them in a cup of water to keep their white color. Peel carrots and slice into 1/8" rounds. Cut banana leaves along grain every 4" resulting in 4" x 12" strips. Once meat has cooled to warm, drain juices from both meats into the instant cornmeal, add soy oil, and knead 5 minutes (adding small amounts of water or cornmeal as needed to make a workable dough). To assemble tamales, center a banana leaf strip on a square of aluminum foil. Shape about 1/2 cup of dough into a 1/8" thin oval by placing it on one side of a foot long piece of plastic wrap, folding the plastic over it and rolling a pin over it. Then place the thin oval on the left half of the banana leaf strip. Position 2 pieces each of chicken, pork, potato, carrot, and green olives on the oval. Once again, form a second oval with 1/2 cup of dough and place that on top of filling. Fold right side of leaf and aluminum foil over oval. Fold top and bottom of aluminum foil in towards center of oval and secure by pinching small folds to close the packet. This will leave one edge loose for steam to enter while cooking. Arrange packets in a spiral in a steamer (open end up). Steam over 2 inches of water for 1 hour, checking water level occasionally. Remove aluminum foil before serving. These freeze and re-heat beautifully.

Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- 1. Prepare the mole sauce, tamale dough, and shredded chicken. Keep them at room temperature. Prepare banana leaves. 2. Lay 1 banana leaf square on a flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons dough in the center of the leaf. Top with 2 tablespoons chicken and 2 tablespoons sauce. Fold the sides of the leaf, overlapping them, to cover the filling. Fold the top and bottom toward the center to form a square package. Tie with strips of banana leaf. Repeat until all tamales are filled and wrapped. 3. Put about 3 inches of water into a large steamer and drop in a coin. (A rattling coin means there's still water in the pot.) Line a steamer with extra pieces of banana leaf. Stack the tamales, seam side down, on the steamer rack. Cover with a banana leaf or aluminum foil. Tuck a kitchen towel on top and put on the lid. Bring to a boil and steam tamales about 1 hour or until the dough comes easily away from the banana leaf when you test 1 packet. Retie, and serve packets hot. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
