Best Embutido Filipino Meatloaf Recipes

EMBUTIDO (FILIPINO MEATLOAF)

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix together the ground pork, luncheon meat, chorizo de bilbao, pickle, raisin, eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Form the mixture into 2 logs and wrap with aluminum foil. Place the wrapped logs in a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
• Set the meatloaves aside to rest. Carefully drain the drippings from the baking dish into a small saucepan placed over medium heat. Stir the soy sauce and corn flour into the drippings; bring to a boil. Cook the mixture at a boil, stirring continually, until the sauce is thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Unwrap the meatloaves and slice; serve the sauce over sliced meatloaf.

FILIPINO MEATLOAF (EMBUTIDO)

Steps:

• Place bread in a large bowl and pour milk over top, just until pieces are moistened; soak for several minutes. Add ground beef, Vienna sausage, eggs, Cheddar cheese, pickles, bell pepper, raisins, salt, and pepper. Mix together until thoroughly combined.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of beef mixture to the hot skillet; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 4 to 6 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
• Press remaining beef mixture into 2 loaf pans and cover with aluminum foil.
• Fill the water reservoir of a steamer and place loaf pans in the steam tray, using multiple tiers if necessary. Steam meatloaves until no longer pink in the center, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Allow loaves to cool to room temperature and then place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Slice loaves into 1/2-inch slices and fry in a hot, nonstick skillet.

FILIPINO-STYLE MEATLOAF (EMBUTIDO)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Gently lower 6 eggs into a large saucepan of boiling salted water and cook 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool 2 minutes. Drain and carefully peel.
• Mix remaining 6 eggs in a large bowl with garlic, Parmesan, panko, butter, pickles, olives, raisins, vinegar, both paprikas, pepper, and 2 Tbsp. plus 1 1/2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 4 1/2 tsp. Morton salt, then mix in pork.
• Line two 9x5" loaf pans with a sheet of foil, leaving 3" overhang on long sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray. Divide half of meat mixture between pans. Place 3 boiled eggs in a line down the center of each pan. Top with remaining meat mixture, packing tightly around eggs and making sure they are completely covered.
• Mix ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl and spread over both embutidos. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into several places, avoiding eggs if possible, registers 155°F, 55-70 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Transfer embutidos to a platter; slice.
• Do Ahead
• Embutidos can be baked 4 days ahead. Let cool, cover and chill.
