Embutido Recipe

Directions

  • Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl with your hands, except for the hotdogs and eggs. Set aside.

  • Place the sausages and hard-boiled eggs in the middle of the flattened meat.
  • Roll the foil away from your body to form a log, with the sausage and egg in the middle. Twist the ends of the foil to prevent the meat from spilling. Steam for an hour.

  • Heat oil in the frying pan and add the embutido. Turn occasionally until all sides are lightly brown. Set aside for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve hot.

Quick Tips

Our embutido recipe is delicious but may be challenging for beginners. Here are a few tips for perfect embutidos every single time.

  • Use beaten eggs as a replacement for the bread crumbs. The embutido will still hold its shape.
  • Ensure the meat is defrosted and canned ingredients such as crushed pineapples are well-drained.
  • Let the embutido rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven to keep it moist.
  • Cool entirely before frying and slicing so that the embutido retains its shape.
