You may have to spice up the Filling part to get the sauce hotter, if you like it hotter
Mexican Tamales and Sauce
Filling
5 lbs pork roast
5 dried ancho chiles
2 whole jalapenos
1 whole bulb of garlic
2 tablespoons cumin
4 cups water
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
tamale dough
3 cups masa harina flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable shortening (like Crisco)
2 cups chicken broth
To Fill
36 corn husks, soaked
36 small ripe olives
Directions:
1. Place all filling ingredients into a crock pot and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. (I usually do this procedure overnight).
2. When meat is done, remove meat from sauce and shred in bowl this give you the opportunity to remove the fat out of the meat.
3. Run sauce through sieve to remove skins of chiles, garlic and etc. Your sauce should be thick and a beautiful deep red color!
Reserve 1 cup of meat sauce for the tamale dough.
4. While meat mixture is cooling, place husks in warm water to soften.
5. Mix all the ingredients of tamale dough plus 1 cup reserved meat sauce together
(I do this in my kitchen aid -- makes the job much easier!).
6. Take approx 3 tbsp of dough and place in the middle of corn husk. Spread thinly place filling in the middle with an olive and wrap until dough meets,
the Woman who taught me how to make these -- says an olive in the middle brings good luck!
7. Fold ends and roll package so that corn husk has covered all of filling.
8. Place in steamer. Steam for 40 minutes.
9. Spoon sauce over tamales on plate.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
