As promised, here is one of my Recipes. I am posting my Embutido Special recipe with pictures and with a couple of side stories too. 
By the way, thanks to my loving husband for naming my Embutido dish. (his only participation besides the eating part)
I cooked Embutido yesterday. The preparation started early in the morning, right after breakfast. The kids helped too. They are always excited to participate with the cooking preparation.
And so, let’s start with the Ingredients:
- 1/2 Kilo of ground lean pork
- 1 egg
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper chopped (you can also use canned pimientos, just chop it)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup pickle relish
- 4 pcs. of Vienna sausage chopped
- 1 medium carrot grated (the embutido I made had no carrots though, there was a shortage due to the recent typhoons
)
- 3/4 cup of bread crumbs (you can find this in the bread section of the groceries)
- 3 tbsp of soy sauce
- 1 tsp of pepper
- 1/2 tsp of salt
For filling or garnish:
- 2 hard boiled eggs sliced lengthwise
- Cheddar cheese sticks

Preparation:
In a bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped onion, bell pepper and Vienna sausage, grated carrot, raisins, pickle relish, bread crumbs and egg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated in the mixture. Season with soy sauce, salt and pepper.
Embutido Mixture
When you prepare dishes like this, its okay to let the kids help out. With this dish, I let the kids beat the egg and I also let them mix the mixture as well. Just make sure that their hands are clean. I also wore a hairnet when I prepared this dish, we don’t want to see any undesirable ingredient in the Embutido. And that also goes with other meals that we prepare.

Next, we prepare the Embutido roll or the llanera Embutido. (llanera is the one we use for leche flans.)
For the llanera style, line the llanera with aluminum foil. Then arrange pieces of the hard-boiled eggs and cheese. Then, carefully fill the llanera with the Embutido mixture. cover the llanera with foil. This way, the embutido will have a nice presentation when take it out of the llanera.

For the roll style, scoop a mixture into an 8×11 aluminum foil, flatten it and arrange the hard-boiled eggs and cheese. Fill with the Embutido mixture to cover the eggs and cheese. Roll and twist the ends of the foil to seal the Embutido mixture.

Last step is to steam the Embutido. I used my sturdy rice cooker pot (this comes with a steamer pot topper) as steamer. Steam the Embutido in a stove top over medium heat for 45 minutes. Just fill the pot with 1 1/2 cups of water. And for the embutido roll, just turn it over after 30 minutes to cook the other side.
While waiting for the Embutido to cook, I took pictures of kids while goofing around.

For the quantity of the ingredients listed above, I was able to make one 8-inch llanera Embutido, 1 large Embutido roll and 2 small Embutido rolls. Here’s a picture of the Llanera Embutido. (Notice the hard-boiled eggs and the melted cheese.) I served this for dinner. This will surely be one of the home-made products that I will include in my future cook-to-order business.
