Pork Carnitas Tamales with Red Chile Crema

Tamale Dough

Prepare pork. Submerge corn husks in hot water and soak 30 minutes. Chop onion and garlic. Cut pork into 1-inch cubes (wash hands).

Preheat large stockpot on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pot; add onions and garlic. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until onions are tender. Reduce heat to low; add pork, salt, pepper, stock, cumin, red pepper, and allspice.

Cover pot with lid and simmer 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until pork is 190°F (for shreddable). Meanwhile, combine crema and hot sauce until blended; chill until ready to serve.

Prepare tamales. Drain corn husks. Place 1/3 cup tamale dough in center of smooth side of each corn husk (or nonstick side of foil). Spread dough evenly, leaving a 1-inch border around edges.

Shred pork in pot and mix well. Place 1/4 cup shredded pork in center of tamale, then roll up like a burrito. (Use strips of corn husk or butchers twine to tie tamales if desired.)

Fill steamer (or saucepan fitted with strainer or vegetable basket) with 3–4 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Place tamales in steamer, seam-side down, and cover steamer tightly.

Steam 30–35 minutes (adding more water as needed) or until tamales release easily from husks. Remove from steamer and let stand 5 minutes to cool. Remove husks from tamales; top with red chile crema and garnish with cilantro. Serve.
