Method
- 1 Beat the pork fat for 5 minutes until fluffy, then mix the mas powder with 90 ml of warm water to form a smooth, pliable dough.
- 2 Boil the eggs for 9 minutes, then slice them, roast the pumpkin seeds, and coarsely grind them.
- 3 Heat the banana leaves until soft, then spread the dough into a 1 cm thick rectangle on the leaf.
- 4 Arrange the eggs and epazote leaves in a vertical row along the dough, then roll it up; the dish's name means "queen's arm" because of its long, rolled shape.
- 5 Tie both ends and steam for 50 minutes, let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into rounds, then drizzle with tomato sauce and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
