Today's Food Friday post: Embutido and Pechay Sub

Ingredients
bread of your choice (i used a small baguette)
embutido (sliced, which my sister-in-law made)
pechay/bokchoy (cooked in chicken stock)
red onion rings
pepper, salt, olive oil
calamansi/lemon juice

Assemble your sub:
bread - pechay - embutido slices - onion rings - pechay.
Drizzle olive oil, pepper, salt, and calamansi/lemon juice (optional).
Cover. Bite.

Embutido is sort of like meatloaf. It is steamed, though, instead of baked. Both are delicious (in my opinion), but I only had embutido so that was what I used. :D

You can wilt the onions, too...or maybe toast the bread. Or maybe add cheese or mayo. Your choice. It's your sub and you are entitled to eat it the way you like it! :P

My food post for this week is something that I made for the very first time...Embutido (Filipino version of the Meatloaf). And as usual, I didn't follow any specific recipe. lol. I also added some ingredients that I believe you normally don't find in the usual 'embutido'. :i

Ingredients used:

• ground beef (around 1/2 kg)
• ground pork (around 1/2 kg)
• bok choy/pechay (jullienned)
• spanish paprika, mixed herbs (thyme, rosemary, marjoram, basil, oregano, and sage), sweet pickle relish, raw egg, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, finely sliced garlic and onion, all-purpose flour
• hard boiled eggs

Procedure:

• Mix everything except for the hard boiled eggs.
• Slice hard boiled eggs lengthwise then arrange slices on bottom of container.
• Put meat mixture on top of the eggs, then another layer of sliced eggs.
• Finish with the meat mixture.
• Cover with aluminum foil.
• Steam for around an hour.
• Remove from steamer and serve. Or you may place inside freezer (after it has cooled down) if you plan to eat the dish another day.

In our case, I immediately served the dish while still a bit warm. It tasted way different than the embutido that I usually get from the supermarket, but we all welcomed the change. Paired the dish with some tomato slices (sprinkled with salt) and hot steamed rice. :$

I placed the other unopened container in the freezer (which I sliced and fried as part of our lunch two days later). I will be making this again. I might do things differently; or not. Depends largely on what I have on hand. :P

Reminder: Please don't forget to link back (a simple text would be great, or you may use the buttons provided here). Also, please visit the other party-goers and leave some commentluv to let them know that you dropped by. Many thanks! <3

Fried Embutido

I have no idea why, but back at my parent's home we seldom serve embutido (meatloaf prepared Filipino style). I guess that's partly the reason why I don't like eating it, unless it's fried.

Would love to learn how this is cooked, though. Some love it with ketchup, but I love mine with tomatoes sprinkled with salt and dried dill leaf tips.

Got that embutido from SIL when we came for a visit. :)
