    Pork Tamales with red sauce

    Part 1
    The long part: Preparing the pork in the slow cooker . Big piece of bone in pork shoulder split in two, spices, chopped red onion, garlic cloves, water, bottle of Sam Adams Oktoberfest let it slow cook for 8 hours. It just fell of the bone when done and I fork shredded it. Simmered de seeded Ancho Chilies in the pork rendering then blended with more spices. Strained that back into the skillet added flour and olive oil and stirred over low heat for 10 minutes then mixed it in with the pork. Tomorrow I will soak the corn husks, make the masa and steam the tamales. While that's going on I will make up a chocolate mole sauce



    simmering the Ancho peppers



    post puree: spiced and filtered with flour and oil added to the skillet

    Tamales are absolutely my favorite Mexican food. You're definitely making those the old-fashioned way. I prefer mine lathed in Verde sauce. I don't know what's going on with you but you've been throwing some big time grub up here the last few days.

    Man those look good. That's the traditional way they're done obviously. The last time I made a batch I made them in an instapot and they actually turned out pretty good.

    I'm not sure why they taste better when wrapped in corn husks - they just do.
