Hmmm! Pork Embutido with Cheddar Cheese & Vienna Sausage

A lot can be said about Filipino cuisine, our dishes spring forth from either necessity (in the form of not wasting any food item), adapt to weather (how to make the food last given the climate) or even influences from both Western and Asian cuisines.

Our own Pork Embutido recipe is very much Spanish-influenced, but looking at the dish, now and comparing it with its Latin American and Spanish counterparts, it could be said that a lot of Filipino creativity has been used to make this Dish a truly Filipino one.

There are a lot of processed Embutido here in the country nowadays (including Meatloaf), but in case you want to make one, this is surely going to guide you.

This is made with ground pork, eggs, tomato sauce, pickles, red and green bell peppers, carrots, cheddar cheese, onion, salt and pepper, and bread crumbs (for the Embutido to be able to mold itself once you open it before frying).

For the Bread Crumbs, you can tear bread using your bare hands, turn the bread into crumbs by using a food processor or buy store-bought breadcrumbs.

Pork Embutido Recipe and Preparation (Alternative Method)

1. Mix the ground pork, the Bread Crumbs, and beaten eggs together then put in the minced carrots, bell peppers, onion, pickle relish, and the cheddar cheese.
2. Add then the raisins, tomato sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to mix it thoroughly as this mixture is going to be the base for the Vienna sausages or hotdogs.
3. Lie the aluminum foil flat on your kitchen counter and put in the mixture.
4. After putting the mixture, you put in the sliced boiled eggs and Vienna sausage in the middle.
5. Roll the aluminum foil and lock it, making sure that the mixture is tightly inside.
6. Place the Embutido inside a steamer and steam it for 1 hour then refrigerate it.
7. After refrigerating it, you can already serve it as it is or fry it up and serve with banana ketchup.

This is perfect not only as a staple for your breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this can actually also be served in parties; proving its flexibility as a dish and the ingenuity of the Filipinos in creating something very much our own.
