TAMALES DE CARNE DE RES RECIPES

Steps:

• Wash the meat very well and let it soak for half an hour in water.
• Discard the soaking water and place the meat in a large pot well covered with water for about 2 inches (5 cm). Add a tablespoon of salt, garlic, and onion.
• Bring to a boil and cook over high heat. With a spoon discard the foam that will form during the first half-hour.
• Set the heat to medium-low, cover the pot and cook for about an hour and a half.
• While the meat is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Wash them, peel them, and cut them into chunks.
• When the meat will be very soft and tender, add the vegetables.
• Continue cooking for another 20-25 minutes or long enough for the vegetables to cook perfectly.
• Adjust salt to taste and make sure there is enough liquid to cover the ingredients. Turn off the heat and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together rice flours, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in melted butter, coconut milk and eggs. Whisk mixture until smooth.
• Wash and dry banana leaf, if using, and line a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with it. (One leaf should be enough, but if more are needed, make sure to overlap leaves so there are no gaps.) Butter the leaf, and trim edges leaving a 1- to 2-inch overhang. Alternatively, generously grease skillet with butter.
• Pour mixture into skillet and bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with salted egg and cheese. Return skillet to oven until bibingka is golden and browned, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes more. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with coconut, if desired.
