The story of the dish
Embutido is a traditional Filipino sausage that originated in Manila during the Spanish colonial period, when Europeans introduced curing and sausage-making techniques to local cooks. It is typically made by mixing ground pork with vegetables, cheese, and eggs, then wrapping the mixture in banana leaves or plastic and steaming or boiling it. Today it is commonly served as a breakfast dish or snack, often accompanied by rice and a sweet chili dipping sauce.
The name: Embutido means 'sausage' in Spanish and refers to the Filipino-style meat roll or link made from ground pork and other ingredients.

Method
- Use a food processor to mince and grate the carrot, bell pepper, onion, and garlic.
- In a bowl, combine the minced pork, carrots, bell pepper, sweet pickle relish, raisins, eggs, evaporated milk, bread crumbs, grated cheese, onion, and garlic, then season with salt and pepper.
- Take a small piece of the mixture and pan-fry it to taste-test and check the seasoning before assembling the meatloaf.
- Place portions (about 0.5 cup each) onto sheets of foil, flatten slightly, add slices of hot dog and boiled egg inside as the filling, and wrap tightly into rolls.
- Place the wrapped rolls into a steamer and steam for 45 minutes to 1 hour, monitoring the internal temperature until it reaches 74°C (165°F).
- Serve sliced with sweet chili sauce or banana ketchup for dipping.
🌡️ 74°C (165°F) internal temperature
- Take a small piece and pan-fry it to check if the flavor is okay with salt and pepper before rolling the meatloaves.
- For the filling, look for the tender, juicy Filipino-style hot dogs that are really red.
- Use a digital thermometer to monitor the internal temperature so you don't overcook it—aim for 74°C sharp for a soft and juicy texture.
