Embutido

Embutido is Filipino style meat loaf made with ground pork and spices. It is usually wrapped in aluminum foil and cooked by steaming. This dish originated in Spain and has been adapted to Filipino kitchens. This dish can be cooked in spite of incomplete ingredients. It is commonly sold in the frozen food sections of grocery stores or local markets in the Philippines along with tocino and loganisa.

Some locals believe that making embutido is complicated and stressful. But the truth is, it is fun and easy. Actually, the only difficult part is the chopping the ingredients. In this recipe, we use a lot of ingredients. The truth is the more toppings and spices you use, the tastier it will become. This dish can be serve during fiestas. It also makes a perfect breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even a finger picking food at parties or social gatherings.
