Ingredients
- canola oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 ½ pounds ground pork
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
- ¼ cup raisins
- ¼ cup banana ketchup
- 3 eggs, well-beaten
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
For Filling
- 3 eggs, hardboiled, peeled and quartered
- 3 pieces vienna sausages, cut into four lengthwise
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onions and cook until softened. Remove from pan and allow to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine ground pork, crushed pineapple, carrots, sauteed onions, raisins, ketchup, beaten eggs, salt and pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.
- On the center of a 12-inch aluminum foil, spread ⅓ of the pork mixture creating a rectangular shape.
- Arrange sliced eggs and Vienna sausages in the middle of pork mixture.
- Carefully roll mixture to form a log of about 3-inch in diameter. Wrap the foil around the meat and crimp ends of foil to seal tightly. Double wrap roll with foil. Repeat with remaining pork mixture.
- In a roasting pan, add about 2 inches of water. Arrange foil-wrapped pork mixture on a roasting rack and position rack on top of the water-filled pan.
- Bake in the oven for about 50 to 60 minutes or a thermometer inserted in the center reads 160 F.
- Remove from the heat and let stand for about 8 to 10 minutes before opening the foil. Cool completely before frying.
- In a pan, heat about 1 inch deep of oil. Add embutido and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides.
- Let stand for about 3 to 5 minutes before slicing into desired thickness. Serve hot.

Notes
- I use beaten eggs as a binder and skip the bread crumbs as I don't like adding extenders and I find the embutido will hold its shape without them. Stirring the mixture together releases the beef's myosin, which helps it stick together.
- Make sure the meat is fully thawed, and canned ingredients such as crushed pineapples are well-drained, as the extra moisture might affect the loaf consistency.
- Let the steamed meatloaves stand for about 10 minutes before opening the foil for the juices to redistribute, keeping the loaf moist.
- Cool completely before frying and slicing so it won't fall apart.
