I have not tried the recicpe. However, I am from Panama and all the ingredients are accurate with one exception: the pine nuts; we do not use these to prepare the traditional tamales and the product is not widely known in the country either. Regarding the culantro, it can be found in the Asian Markets by the name of Culantro (NGO GAD

This are the best Tamales in the world. After you try them, nothing else would compare.

I was lucky enough to spend a year living in Panama, and I have been looking for a good recipe for Panamanian tamales for a while now. This appears to be pretty authentic, and I am looking forward to trying it. The one ingredient that is conspicuously absent is the herb "culantro", which is a frequently used ingredient in Panamanian cuisine, and a big part of the flavor of a Panamanian tamal. It can be difficult to find in the US but the flavor is somewhat similar to cilantro (although botanically unrelated, and I will add some cilantro when making this recipe. Thanks for the recipe, and I hope to see more recipes for Central American foods in the future!
