Embutido is a popular Filipino dish, often served during special occasions and holidays.

It is a type of
meatloaf made with ground meat (typically pork), vegetables, and a variety of seasonings. The mixture is
shaped into a log, wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and then steamed or baked. Here's a basic
recipe for making Filipino embutido:

Ingredients:

For the Embutido Mixture:

1 pound ground pork (you can also use a combination of ground pork and ground beef)

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup grated carrots

1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (red or green)

1/2 cup sweet pickle relish

1/2 cup grated cheese (Eden or cheddar)

1/4 cup green peas (frozen or canned)

1/4 cup chopped onions

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

2 eggs

1/4 cup tomato sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

For Wrapping and Cooking:

Aluminum foil or plastic wrap

Cooking oil for greasing

Banana leaves (optional for added flavor and aroma)

Steamer or large pot for steaming

Instructions:
Prepare the Embutido Mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, raisins, grated carrots, chopped bell peppers, sweet
pickle relish, grated cheese, green peas, chopped onions, minced garlic, and breadcrumbs.

Add the Seasonings:

Season the mixture with soy sauce, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to
distribute the flavors evenly.

Add Eggs:

Crack the eggs into the mixture and mix until well combined. The eggs act as binders for the embutido.

Shape the Embutido:

Lay out a sheet of aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and if you have banana leaves, place them on top for
added flavor and aroma.

Place a portion of the embutido mixture in the center of the foil or wrap and shape it into a log or
rectangular loaf. Roll and shape it tightly.

Wrap the embutido securely in the foil or plastic wrap.

Steam or Bake:

If you have a steamer, place the embutido rolls in the steamer and steam for about 45 minutes to 1
hour. If you don't have a steamer, you can also use a large pot with a rack and cover, adding water to
create steam.

To bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the wrapped embutido on a baking dish, and bake
for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the embutido is fully cooked. You can remove the foil or plastic
wrap for the last 15-20 minutes to brown the embutido.

Cool and Slice:

Allow the embutido to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This makes it easier to cut into neat slices.

Serve:
Serve your embutido slices with your favorite dipping sauce, such as banana ketchup or a combination
of soy sauce and vinegar.

Embutido can be served hot or cold and is often a part of festive Filipino celebrations and gatherings.
Enjoy this delicious Filipino meatloaf!
