This is my pork tamle filling I have been using for about three years now. I got it form the lady who invented the masa spreader, a really great tool to use when putting your tamales together. http://www.mex-sales.com/

Ingredients
  • 5-lb. Pork shoulder or butt
  • 3-5 Dried Red Poblano Peppers
  • 1/4 Cup Mixed Whole Cumin & Pepper
  • 3 Garlic Pods Peeled
  • 1 cup of brewed coffee
  • 1-2 Cups Meat Broth
  • Salt to taste

Directions
  1. Slow-cook the meat for 7 to 8 hours on low.
  2. Reserve the broth for the masa and the filling.
  3. Chop or shred cooked meat.
  4. Clean peppers and boil in one cup of broth for about 5 minutes. Place in blender and add the mixed cumin and pepper seed, and garlic. Blend until a paste is formed and all the spices are ground. Place chopped meat in a large pot and add broth, pepper and garlic paste, and salt. Mix until all ingredients blend together. Use immediately or refrigerate overnight, allowing the seasonings to ferment into meat.
