Embutido: A Filipino Meatloaf

One day, I was in a friend’s house and she was making Embutido when I arrived. I watched her as she makes it. While she was in the process of making it, I was thinking how does it taste? My mom never made it, so, I did not have any idea. There are commercialized frozen Embutido available in stores but we never tried getting one. I don’t even know why.

When my friend’s done with the dish, I finally got to try it and I loved it. From that moment, I am really eager to make my own, too. It took years since I tried cooking one. I still have to search through the internet because I can’t anymore remember what my friend told me regarding the ingredients. I found a good recipe from Panlasang Pinoy.

I love to fry the steamed Embutido and it tastes really good with rice and ketchup or sweet chili sauce. 😀

Instructions:

  1. In a large container, mix all ingredients except hotdogs and boiled eggs. Give it a good mix.
  2. Place the mixture in an aluminum foil and flatten.
  3. Place the wedges of sliced egg and half hotdog side by side in the center of the flatten meat. (see video for guidance)
  4. Roll the foil forming a cylinder shape, locking the hotdogs and eggs. Lock the edges of the foil.
