This does sound really good but I am also wondering why the need for the leaves in a crock pot? It's my understanding that the leaves are generally used as a makeshift container for cooking in a pit where you need to contain the food and keep the moisture in.

I have had tamales that were wrapped in banana leaves but I think it was just for looks as normally they are wrapped in corn husks.
