Steps:
- Prepare pork roasts by boiling the meat with about 2 tablespoons of garlic salt per roast. Use as many pots as you need to accommodate the roast. Cook the meat until fork tender and comes apart with no resistance. This usually takes about 2 hours. Reserve pork broth. Pull meat apart into chunks and refrigerate until ready to use.
- While the meat is cooking, clean dried chilies by removing the tops and discarding the seeds. Place pods into a bath of water and soak for a few minutes. While pods are soaking, fill a large pot halfway with water. Place your clean chili pods in the water and push them down until the water covers all. Bring to a boil and then simmer 34 to 45 minutes. When done, remove from heat.
- Transfer small bunches of the tender chili pods to a blender and blend on high until the pods turn to a liquid mixture. (The seed and skins will make the mixture seem a little chunky but that will be removed in a food mill.) Pour the chili sauce into a food mill which should be attached to a bowl or saucepan. Run the sauce through the mill until no more liquid is left in the top of the mill. Discard the leftover seeds and skin. Repeat this process for the remaining chili sauce until all of it has been run through the food mill. Next, add the ground cumin to the chili sauce. This sauce uses quite a bit of salt; add small amounts at a time, to taste.
- Once chili sauce is properly seasoned, add pork to the chili sauce. Stir until thoroughly mixed. No need to heat, just put the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Open packages of cornhusks and remove the silk from each husk. Place cornhusks into a sink filled with warm water. Let the husks soak for about 3 minutes. Remove the husks from the water and place on a cookie sheet and cover with damp towel to keep moist.
- Prepare masa according to the directions on the package, or buy pre-made masa, available at specialty ethnic food stores. Also try calling a Mexican restaurant, they may make it for you. To soften up the masa before you work with it, add approximately 2 cups of the reserved pork broth.
- Once softened, divide masa into deep bowls amongst the people helping. Press masa flat, down into the bowl, creating a flat surface. Take 1 cornhusk and lay it flat, add a large dollop of the masa onto the husk. Spread the masa out onto the leaf with the back of a spoon to create a thin paste like coverage, being sure to leave no holes. Place 2 tablespoons of the chili sauce/pork mixture onto the masa. (It?s best to keep a bowl of the sauce next to you at all times.) Fold the tamale bringing two sides together so that they slightly overlap, then fold the bottom up over the folded sides. Press down slightly on top of tamale while holding everything in place and the masa will act as a glue to seal the filling.
- Place tamales standing upright into a large double steamer. Steam for 2 hours. Remove tamales from steamer and let stand about 5 minutes. Pull off husk and eat. If desired, tamales may be frozen in plastic storage bags. To steam frozen tamales, just add 1 hour to the cooking time.

Steps:
- Place corn husks in a bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak for a few hours. Drain, place on a work surface, and cover with a clean, damp towel.
- Place chicken in a pot, season with salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain chicken and shred with 2 forks.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat and toast ancho and mulato chiles until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Place in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until soft, about 25 minutes. Combine ancho and mulato chiles, garlic, cumin seeds, and about 1/2 cup of the soaking water in a blender; blend until a thick, smooth, mole-like sauce forms, adding more water if necessary.
- Heat 1 tablespoon lard in a saucepan over medium heat and add the sauce; cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken and cook until flavors are combined and chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Place remaining lard in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add masa harina, chicken broth, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, and beat until all ingredients are well combined. Test if the masa is ready by dropping a small ball of masa into a glass of cold water; if it floats, it's ready, if not, keep working the dough a little longer.
- Select 1 wide corn husk. Spread about 2 tablespoons masa mixture onto the the corn husk, filling it up to 2 inches from the bottom and 1/4 inch from the top. Add 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of the masa mixture. Fold sides of husk together, one over the other. Fold the bottom of the husk over the seam of the 2 folded sides. Repeat with remaining husks.
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add tamales with the open side up and cook until filling is heated through and separates from the husk, about 1 hour. Let tamales rest for 15 minutes before serving.

MAMA'S RED BEANS & RICE
Down home delicious! My family doesn't like things too hot, but does enjoy a bit of spice. They also like a hearty meal with meat, meat, and more meat. Without the additional ham in red beans and rice, my family always was less than excited for this meal. When I learned to add the ham to it, they now clamor for Mama's Red Beans and Rice!

Steps:
- Speed soak kidney beans by covering with water and bringing to rolling boil for 2-5 minutes. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit for an hour.
- Render fat from bacon or ham to coat bottom of dutch oven OR use about 2 Tabelspoons oil to brown andouille sausage.
- Once sausage is browned, remove from pan and set aside.
- In fat left over from sausage, saute onions, celery, carrots, and bell pepper until translucent and beginning to brown scraping up the fond from the sausage.
- Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. DO NOT let the garlic burn!
- Add ham hocks and ham bone to the pot and cover with water.
- Bring to boil and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
- Mix together in small bowl salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and paprika; set aside.
- Once ham is falling off the bone and ham hocks are beginning to fall apart, remove about 2 cups of water/stock from the pot.
- Remove the bones and return the meat to the pot.
- Drain what liquid is left from the beans and dump beans into the ham and stock mixture.
- Dump browned andouille sausage into ham, bean, and stock mixture.
- Add spice mixture and bay leaves to the pot and mix in well.
- Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours.
- While simmering the beans, cook your favorite rice. You'll need at least 3-4 cups. My family really likes rice so I usually double that.
- Remove the bay leaves and any bone or skin pieces from ham hock.
- When ready to eat, if there still seems to be too much liquid on the beans, just ladle the excess liquid off. (I find that some days are just more humid and there's a lot of liquid, and some days there's hardly any.).
- Serve meaty bean mixture over the top of hot rice.
- If desired, use some good hot sauce on top. Enjoy!
