Preparation

Marinating the Meat Mixture

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine ground pork, onions, bell pepper, carrots, garlic, raisins, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

Ensure the meat mixture is well-seasoned before wrapping.

Mix Thoroughly

Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Rest Mixture

Let the mixture rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.

For best results, test a small portion of the meat mixture by frying a patty to taste for seasoning.

Preparing the Tangy Ketchup Glaze

Combine Glaze Ingredients

In a small bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.

Whisk Until Smooth

Stir until smooth and set aside.

Adjust Seasoning

Adjust sweetness or acidity according to taste preference.

Cooking Process

Assembling the Embutido

Place a piece of aluminum foil (12x10 inches) on a flat surface. Spread an even layer of the meat mixture onto the foil, leaving about 2 inches from the edges.

Filling the Embutido

Place boiled eggs and halved sausages in the center of the meat spread. Add bits of cheese along the line of the boiled eggs and sausages.

Rolling the Embutido

Carefully roll the meat into a log, sealing the foil tightly to secure the shape. Twist the ends of the foil to lock. Repeat for other embutido rolls.
