Ingredients
Bacon-Wrapped Embutido Ingredients
- 1/2 kilo ground pork
- 1/3 Cup pickle relish
- 3 slices cooked ham chopped
- 1/4 Cup raisins
- 1/2 Cup Cheese cubed small
- 1/4 Cup red bell pepper chopped
- 1/4 Cup carrot finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 12 slices bacon
- Salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In bowl, combine ground pork, pickle relish, ham, raisins, cheese, bell pepper, carrot, and eggs mix until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook a small portion to test for seasoning, and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Divide the mixture into three. Place plastic wrap onto a flat surface. Place bacon strips down in an overlapping row with the short ends towards you near the bottom part of the plastic wrap. Place one part of the divided pork mixture onto the bacon. Form the pork mixture into a log. Roll tightly and seal the ends. Roll the plastic-wrapped embutido in foil to more securely wrap your embutido.
- Repeat with the remaining pork mixture. Place wrapped pork logs in a steamer and cook for 30 minutes. Remove from the steamer and cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C. Place rack on the upper part of the oven.
- Open the steamed embutido. Place on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining embutido.
- Broil in a preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the bacon is browned and crispy. Alternatively, place it in a toaster oven or air fryer at 200 degrees C. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
