Ferm n N ez from Suerte in Austin, TX is in the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen making spicy pork tamales. He braises pork shoulder in a mixture of chilies, veggies, and annatto seeds, then nestles it in masa and steams the tamales until fluffy for the ultimate holiday recipe.
My: My ex husbands family was from Matamores and he loves tamales with the red sauce in the masa but what I found over the years is that I guess is the people from more southern parts of mexico look at you weird if the masa is not plain. I have had people ask, why is the masa red? I guess just like everywhere else depending on what part of the country you come everyone makes the same food differently. Date: 2021-12-11
