How to make embutido

Embutido is a Filipino style meatloaf that can be served either uncooked (as cold cuts) or lightly pan-fried and served with a variety of sauces. This is usually prepared and serve during special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, fiesta, noche buena, or even ordinary days.

Materials that you will need:

Steamer
Mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
1 lb. ground pork
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1 cup (6 slices) finely chopped
(sweet or cooked) ham
3 tbsp. minced green bell pepper
3 tbsp. minced red bell pepper
1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup raisins
3 whole eggs
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
A dash of liquid seasoning
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tbsp. cornstarch
Slices (wedges) of hard boiled egg
Slices (wedges) of Vienna sausage
Aluminum foil, 10-inches-by-12-inches sizes

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. In a bowl, combine all the food ingredients and mix until well blended.

3. Divide the mixture into portions, depending on how many you want to make.

4. Spread and flatten the mixture onto the center of each aluminum
foil.

5. Evenly divide the slices of hard boiled eggs and sausages so that each mixture gets an equal share. Place the slices at the center of each mixture.

6. Carefully roll the aluminum foil into a tightly packed log about 1 inch to 2 inches in diameter, sealing on both ends.

7. Place the wrapped embutido in a steamer and steam for an hour.

8. Let cool and slice it into rings to serve.
