Method

1

Cuoci il pollo in acqua salata fino a quando è tenero, quindi scolalo e sfilaccialo.

2

In una ciotola, unisci la farina di mais con il sale e il pepe, aggiungendo gradualmente il brodo di pollo fino a ottenere un impasto liscio e lavorabile.

3

In un frullatore, combina i tomatillos, il jalapeño, l'origano e un pizzico di sale; frulla fino a ottenere una salsa omogenea.

4

In una padella, scalda l'olio d'oliva e cuoci la salsa di tomatillo per 5-7 minuti, poi aggiungi il pollo sfilacciato e mescola bene.

5

Su ogni foglia di banano, stendi 2-3 cucchiai di impasto di masa, lasciando spazio ai lati, e aggiungi un cucchiaio del ripieno di pollo al centro.

6

Chiudi la foglia di banano avvolgendo il ripieno e legala con uno spago da cucina.

7

Posiziona i tamales in una vaporiera e cuoci a vapore per 60-75 minuti, finché l'impasto si stacca facilmente dalle foglie.

8

Lascia riposare i tamales per 10 minuti prima di servirli.
