TAMALE BALLS
FOR SAUCE
"Coffee filters make excellent tamale wrappers, "precut, durable and they come in several sizes".
It’s a lot easier to make the tamales if you mix the meat mixture and the man mixture together, then all tamales in the batch have the same proportions of meat and masa for a uniform product.
They're a lot easier to make and taste just as good. If the recipe yields more than you want, freeze half of the balls and cut the sauce ingredients by half."
Combine first five ingredients. Mix dry ingredients and add. Shape into about 40 small balls. In large Dutch oven combine sauce ingredients. Drop balls into sauce and simmer, tightly covered, for two hours.
