Ground pork rolls or Embutido is a delicious form of rolled meatloaf consisting of a combination of ground pork, eggs, bell peppers, raisins, relish, ketchup, cheese, salt, and pepper. It is then placed in aluminum foil, rolled up, and steamed to perfection. The outcome of this dish is incredible. It is often called Filipino meatloaf and commonly sold and served in the Philippines. I love it served up a New Years, birthdays, or any social gathering for that matter.
You can, of course, change the recipe according to your liking. In example, the amount of each ingredient can be altered. Additional spices can be added too. If you are a garlic or onion fan, go ahead and add some. I use old sharp cheddar cheese, but you can use your favourite cheese.
The great thing about embutido is that you can make it up, freeze it, and serve it at a later time. It keeps really well.
