Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute toasted almonds for peanuts.

    I love pork picadillo, and this was no exception. I use almonds rather than peanuts but that's a matter of personal preference. The sweet corn in the tamale batter was an interesting addition that worked quite well. My only objection is that with a sweet filling the sweet corn batter made the overall dish very sweet: I suggest serving it with a tart salsa (salsa verde, probably) to help with the overall balance.
