Tamale Pork Filling
Ingredients
  • 1 pound pork butt roast
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt to taste
  • 8 black peppercorns
  • 1 dried red chile pepper
Instructions
1
Remove excess fat from the pork butt, then cut it into bite-sized pieces. Place these pieces in a large saucepan and pour in water, along with some sautéed onions, minced garlic, a bay leaf, a pinch of salt, several peppercorns, and some diced chile peppers. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil; carefully remove any foam that rises to the surface.
2
Next, lower the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let it gently simmer for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
3
After the cooking time has elapsed, carefully pour off the liquid that has accumulated in the saucepan. Let the pork meat cool down to room temperature, then shred it into tender strands using a fork. If desired, refrigerate the shredded pork overnight to allow its flavors to mature further
