Ingredients

• 2 lb Ground pork
• 1 Carrots
• 1/2 Bell pepper
• 1/3 cup Raisins
• 1/4 cup Sweet pickle relish
• 4 Eggs
• 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup Cheddar
• 3 Hard-boiled eggs

Steps

1. Mix the pork, diced carrots, bell pepper, raisins, relish, 2 beaten eggs, breadcrumbs, and diced cheddar until just combined — overmixing makes it dense.
2. Divide in half. On foil, shape each half into a 10-inch log; line the center with halved hard-boiled eggs.
3. Roll tight, twisting the foil ends like a candy wrapper to compact the log.
4. Steam 45 minutes, until firm and the juices run clear.
5. Cool 15 minutes before unwrapping — slicing hot embutido crumbles it.
6. Slice into 1/2-inch rounds to show the egg mosaic. Serve with banana ketchup; it’s meatloaf through a Filipino fiesta lens.
