Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 pieces egg raw
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or 3 pieces sliced bread cut into really small pieces
- 1 big carrot - diced (small)
- 1 big onion - diced (small)
- 1 medium green bell pepper - diced (small)
- ⅓ cup pickle relish sweet
- 3 tablespoons tomato sauce or ketchup
- ⅔ cup raisins
- 1-2 teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoons black pepper
- 6 pieces vienna sausage or 3 hotdogs
- 2 egg each cut into 4, hard-boiled
Instructions
- Put all ingredients, except the last 2, in a large bowl.
- Mix everything together using your hand to make sure that all is well incorporated. Set aside.
- Cut 2 pieces of aluminum foil about 12 inches long each. Take half of the meat mixture and flatten it on of the foil, covering about a half. Don't forget to leave some space at the ends, about 2 inches each side.
- Place the sausages and hard boiled eggs on the middle of the flattened meat.
- Roll the foil so that the meat forms a cylinder or log, locking the sausage and egg in the center. Twist the ends of the foil to lock.
- Steam for 50-60 minutes.

Notes
- This recipe produces two large embutido logs or four smaller ones depending on how you slice them.
- Ensure the ends of the foil are tightly twisted to keep the filling secure during steaming.
- Slice embutido after it has cooled slightly to maintain clean slices.
