Great Big Tamal Roll with Chard

Just Chard, masa, vegetable shortening, baking powder, chicken broth and salsa. I was skeptical, but also delighted to find another use for Swiss chard. I picked up Crisco to use instead of the lard option. Everything went according to the directions. I used the big steamer I have for steaming. My only trouble came when I would check it and it did not unroll nicely, so I would tie it back up and steam longer. I finally just gave up and served it, scrapping it off of the towel and served it. That is why you won't see a picture. I think my two mistakes were: 1 - I probably added extra Swiss chard and so it took longer to cook, and 2 - I used a linen towel instead of cotton and it might have been too bulky. But the flavor was delicious and with his roasted tomato jalapeno, really outstanding flavor.
