Embutido Recipe
Embutido is a type of meatloaf prepared Filipino style. Though a well known dish for the holidays, Embutido can be enjoyed everyday without any hassle. Several meat processing companies now produce this meatloaf for commercial purposes; all you have to do is grab one from your favorite grocery store.
For those of you who want to enjoy the naturally prepared Embutido, this is the recipe to go for. My version (or should I say my Mom’s 🙂 ) focuses more on giving this dish the wonderful taste and aroma that can’t be found in commercialized Embutido. You can serve this as a cold cut or you can even fry it after steaming. Do whatever you want but don’t forget to put the Banana Catsup on the side.

You can serve this as a cold cut or you can even fry it after steaming. Do whatever you want but don’t forget to put the Banana Catsup on the side. I like to eat Embutido either warm or cold. I eat this as n appetizer (cold cut) when cold, while I treat this as a main dish eaten with white rice when warm. If you are still intimidated to make this yourself, you should try watching the video for you to see how you can easily prepare this just by yourself. I am sure that you can successfully prepare this delicious embutido on your first attempt.
In terms of storage, you can freeze embutido and it will last for a month. Make sure that you thaw it by exposing in room temperature for a couple of hours; do not microwave as it will react with the aluminum foil.

hi! i tried tweaking the recipe a bit. i used tomato catsup instead of tomato sauce then instead of grated cheese, i used cream cheese spread (tamad na ako mag-grate!). the results are just as good!

Very thankful ako na naging member ng Panlasang Pinoy.I can cook easily now without having trouble.Here in Riyadh,mostly beef and chicken lang available sa market.Is it ok to use chicken as substitute sa pork in making embutido?More power.God bless
Cha says
Thank you very much for sharing your recipe, my husband is now craving for my cooking experiments :)My family loves your embutido!
mamavi says
The happiest day of my cooking time to find your website. There is a god! By the way, pork embutido is definitely not kosher for me(I’m Jewish). I’m going to try minced chicken or minced lamb/beef.
