Embutido is made of ground pork mixed with chorizo, relish, eggs, onions and breadcrumbs. It is wrapped with foil and then either steamed or baked. Filipinos love to serve this dish on Christmas Eve or Noche Buena.
Happy holidays everyone! 😀

This recipe was adapted from the cookbook “Filipino Cooking Here & Abroad”
is there any video tutorial?
Sorry I don’t have video tutorials of my recipes yet. Maybe sometime in the future, I will.
This Embutido Recipe is one of the Great Pinoy Recipe. I Actually made this one with some twist and can be seen on my Blog
Is there a sauce you serve with this? I notice one off to the side in the picture. Am making food for an ill friend from the Philippines. Am making your arroz Faldo, because it sounds like a comfort food. Any other suggestions? I thought I’d make this meatloaf with rice. Thank you!
Hi Valerie,
That was nice of you to cook for a friend. I am pretty sure your friend would appreciate any thing you make for her/him. I serve embutido with ketchup and yes, arroz caldo would be a great food to cook for a person who is not feeling well.
Thanks for sharing this recipe – it is really delicious! I just made a version – the shop was out of pork, so I used minced turkey, and chutney instead of pickle. I’ve posted a link back to your post here http://makey-cakey.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/embutido-filipino-gala-pie.html
You’re welcome! Your version sounds delicious 🙂
