Preparation

In a pot of boiling water, cook the pork with garlic, onion and salt over medium heat. With a spoon, remove the foam, and continue cooking until it is cooked. Reserve the broth and shred the meat.

Blend the chiles, with oregano, cumin, vinegar, cooking broth, garlic, onion and season with salt and pepper.

In a saucepan heat the butter over medium heat, add the shredded meat, pour the sauce and season with salt and pepper, cook for 10 minutes or until reduced. Chill

For the tamal dough, beat the butter with a little cooking broth, add the tamale flour, the baking powder, the salt and beat until you have a smooth and homogeneous dough. Adjust the seasoning.

Place the banana leaf on the mold, add half of the tamale dough, the meat and cover with the rest of the dough, cover with the banana leaf and cook in a bain-marie for 1 hour.

Garnish with onions with pickled habanero.

TIPS

You can replace the vinegar with sour orange juice. When you fry the pork, make sure it has a good amount of fat, so it does not dry out. One way to know if your dough is sufficiently beaten is to place a little dough on a glass of water, if it floats it means that it is ready.
