Filipino Pork Embutido (Pinoy-Style Stuffed Meatloaf)
Report
Pork Embutido is the Filipino adaptation of meatloaf, elevated into a festive dish that combines ground pork with a medley of colorful ingredients. At its heart lies a carefully seasoned mixture of ground pork, shredded carrots, sweet crushed pineapple, and plump raisins. This mixture is transformed when wrapped around perfectly centered hard-boiled eggs and Vienna sausages, creating a spiral roll that reveals an impressive cross-section when sliced. The roll is traditionally steamed until cooked through, then lightly fried to achieve a golden exterior while maintaining its moist, tender interior. Unlike Western meatloaves, embutido balances savory and sweet notes, making it a versatile dish that's equally satisfying served hot with rice for dinner or cold in sandwiches for lunch.

Ingredients
For the Meatloaf Base
- 1½ pounds ground pork Giniling na baboy
- 1 cup crushed pineapple well-drained (Durog na pinya)
- 1 large carrot finely shredded (Kinudkod na karot)
- 1 medium onion finely chopped (Sibuyas)
- ¼ cup raisins Pasas
- ¼ cup banana ketchup Saging ketsup
- 3 eggs well-beaten (Itlog)
- 2 teaspoons salt Asin
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper Dinurog na paminta
For the Filling
- 3 hard-boiled eggs quartered (Matigas na lutong itlog)
- 3 pieces Vienna sausages cut lengthwise (Sausage)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F or get your steamer ready over medium-high heat.
- Heat a pan with oil and cook your chopped onions until soft and clear. Take them off the heat and let them cool completely.
- Mix together in a large bowl: ground pork, drained crushed pineapple, shredded carrots, the cooled onions, raisins, banana ketchup, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything really well for about 5 minutes until it starts to stick together nicely.
- Lay out a piece of aluminum foil (about 12 inches). Spread one-third of your meat mixture on it into a rectangle shape, about half an inch thick.
- Place your quartered hard-boiled eggs and sliced Vienna sausages in a line down the middle of the meat.
- Using the foil to help you, carefully roll the meat over the eggs and sausages to form a log about 3 inches thick. Keep the filling centered as you roll.
- Wrap your roll tightly in the foil, making sure to seal the ends well. Then wrap it again with another piece of foil for extra protection.
- For steaming: Put the wrapped embutido in your steamer and cook for 45-50 minutes. For baking: Put it on a rack in a pan with 2 inches of hot water and bake for 50-60 minutes until it reaches 160°F inside.
- Let it rest for 15 minutes before unwrapping. For the best results, cool it completely in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When you're ready to serve, heat some oil in a pan. Take the foil off and cut the embutido into 1-inch slices. Fry each slice until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve hot with banana ketchup or sweet chili sauce alongside steaming rice.
- For storage, keep it wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months. When you want to use a frozen one, just thaw it in the fridge overnight before frying.
Notes
- Always keep your meat mixture cold while working - this helps maintain the texture (Panatilihing malamig ang karne)
- Squeeze all excess liquid from the pineapple and carrots to prevent a soggy embutido
- Double-wrapping in foil prevents water seepage during steaming
- Let the embutido cool completely before slicing for clean, photo-worthy cuts
- When frying, don't overcrowd the pan to achieve a perfect golden crust
