GOOD FOR 4 PERSONS.

FIRST SET OF INGREDIENTS:

• MINCED PORK – 300 gr.
• CRUSHED PINEAPPLE – 2 tbsp.
• DRIED RAISIN – 2 tbsp.
• MINCED CARROTS – 50 gr.
• FINELY CHOPPED RED BELL PEPPER – ¼ slice
• FINELY CHOPPED GREEN BELL PEPPER – ¼ slice
• CORN STARCH – 1 tbsp.
• EGG – 1 PC.
• SALT – 1/2 tsp.
• A PINCH OF GROUNDED BLACK PEPPER
• A PINCH OF GARLIC POWDER – (OPTIONAL)

SECOND SET OF INGREDIENTS:

• HAM – 150 gr.
• SALAME / SAUSAGE – 50 gr.
• SLICED BOILED EGG – 1 PC.
• CHEESE – 2 SLICES
• ALUMINUM FOIL FOR WRAPPING.

PROCEDURE:

In a medium size mixing bowl, mix well the first set of ingredients, meanwhile, fill your steamer with water and bring to boil.

In the aluminum foil, arrange the ham, spoon in the mixture and spread well, add the slices of cheese, the salami or sliced sausage, the egg and fold the right part to reach the middle as well as the left part. Once formed a tube of meat, roll the aluminum foil and seal both extremity.

Cook for 1 ½ hour since or lesser, depending on the thickness.

Once the embutido is cooked, leave it cool down and slice, this operation will avoid to break the round shape of the slices. Warm back the slices in the microwave for 1 minute and serve with ketchup or sweet chili sauce.

Note: This version of mine is really thick so it took more than an hour of cooking. If you want , it’s possible to add the following ingredients: pickle relish, sliced celery and green peas. Lastly, if you don’t have a steamer, you can use rice cooker or even large pot, in this case, place a stand where you can lay your meat roll and cover with lid.
