| 1. Cook chilies in a saucepan of boiling water for 4 minutes. | 2. Add the tomatillos and cook 2 more minutes; drain and transfer to a blender. | 3. Add garlic and chicken stock to the blender; puree. | 4. Add the cilantro and process briefly. | 5. Heat the oil; add onion and sauté until transparent. | 6. Add the tomatillo puree to the onions and cook over high heat for 5 minutes. | 7. Add the chicken to the sauce; stir and cover; cook over low heat for 5 more minutes. | 8. Add salt to taste (if the mixture is too thick, thin with a little chicken stock); set aside. | 9. Spread out a corn husk and place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of masa on it; either flatten it with your hand or spread it evenly so that it covers a 2 by 3 inch square, leaving a 1 inch border on all sides. | 10. Place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on top of the masa. | 11. Roll the husk up length wise; fold up the bottom. | 12. Set the tamales upright in your steamer basket and slightly inclined so that the tamales don't slip to the bottom. | 13. As soon as the water in your steamer comes to a boil, lower the heat, cover and cook for 1 hour (or 25 minutes in a pressure cooker) or until the masa does not stick to the husk when unrolled. | 14. To freeze for another time, leave in their husks and seal them in a freezer bag; re-heat by either re-steaming them or microwaving them until hot. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
