  • For the sauce: In a pot heat one tablespoon of oil. Fry tomatillos, chile, garlic, and onion for 5 minutes or until tomatillos are slightly soft.
  • Pour chicken broth. Add cilantro and cook for 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Transfer preparation to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Heat another tablespoon of oil in a pot over medium heat. Fry sauce for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool.
  • For the stuffing: In a skillet over medium heat, heat two tablespoons of oil. Fry onion. Add garlic, chile strips, corn kernels, and chicken. Cook for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool.
  • For the dough: Beat lard until it turns lighter. Little by little, add chicken broth, masa mix for tamales, baking powder, and salt. Keep beating to a soft and homogenous dough.
  • Soak corn husks in hot water for about 10 minutes or until soft.
  • In a previously greased and floured bundt cake pan, place tamal dough up to half of the pan. Make a dent in the dough using a spoon. Add a bit of sauce and stuffing. Cover with extra sauce. Fill the pan up to the top with remaining tamal dough. Cover with corn husks and aluminum foil.
