Cooking Instructions
- 1
To make the vegetable broth, bring all the ingredients to a boil and let simmer for 20 minutes. This broth will be used to make the masa and the green chile sauce.
- 2
In a large saute pan, add oil, tomatillos, onion and serrano peppers. Saute for around 30 minutes, until the tomatillos and peppers are olive green.
- 3
In batches, blend all the Green Chile Sauce ingredients together until smooth. Add broth as needed. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of green chili sauce for Masa.
- 4
Mix together shredded pork, potatoes, and enough green chile sauce to coat the meat. The chile sauce makes a little extra so enjoy the extra sauce as you like. We like it with chips or right on top of the tamales for an extra kick.
- 5
Submurdge and soak the corn husks in water for 10 minutes.
- 6
Fill steamer pot with water up to the bottom of the strainer.
- 7
Spread about 1/4 cup of masa onto the top left corner of the corn husk, about a 4"x4" square. Add about a 1/4 cup of pork and potatoes to the center of the masa. Roll in the left corner, pulling all the mixture into the center and continue to roll the rest of the husk. Bend the bottom of the husk up and place facing up into a steamer pot. Continue to fill the pot up until full of standing up tamales.
- 8
Cover the steamer pot and bring to boil. Lower heat to medium low, and steam for 1 hour.
- 9
Tamales are best right out of the pot, hot hot hot. Add some of Auntie Dee-Dee's Fire Roasted Salsa to complete.

I recently came across tomatillos and I was surprised to find out that although they look just like green tomatoes, they aren't tomatoes at all!Salsa verde is a popular Mexican original, but adding a few personal touches can transform this popular sauce into a unique creation. Use as a dipping sauce along corn/flour tortilla chips for the ultimate combo.#CA2025 Veggie K -

Salsa Verde (Green Salsa) Salsa Verde (Green Salsa)
I found some mysterious looking tomatillos in the supermarket and used them to make this green salsa. I prefer green salsa over red salsa and tried many ways to get this recipe right. I tend to buy my salsa but wanted to taste some homemade stuff just this once.Of course you can use jalapeño peppers rather than Serrano chili peppers if you'd prefer. You can also make this salsa entirely with raw vegetables. I always boil my vegetables but there's not really a reason for it, it's just something that I have always done. You can also make a warm simmered sauce from this recipe by adding more salt. Recipe by KazenomachinoPeco cookpad.japan -
