I invite you to try this Cuban version. It is a favorite at our house. If you have leftover roasted pork, just shred it and use that instead of the ground pork.

Tamal en Cazuela (Cuban Tamale in a Pot)

1 lb. ground pork meat

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 onion chopped

1 green peppe
r chopped

olive oil for frying

1/3 cup tomato sauce

1/4 cup red wine

2 cups ground fresh corn (may substitute frozen)

one cup masa harina

3 cups water

Salt & pepper to taste

Juice of one lemon

Fry the pork in a little olive oil. Add onion and green pepper and continue frying at low heat until the onions are soft. Add garlic, tomato sauce and wine.
Slice the corn kernels off of the cob (or use frozen corn). Grind the corn in a food processor until you get a coarse mixture. Remove from the processor and blend in one cup masa harina to the ground corn. Add 3 cups water to the corn mixture and blend well. Add this mixture to the meat and tomato sauce mixture in the pot. Blend in juice of one lemon.
Cook on the stove top, stirring occasionally. The finished product should be thick and not runny. Approximately one hour. Salt and pepper to taste.
