Embutido

Embutido is like a meatloaf that people in the Philippines love to make and eat. It is made of ground meat (usually pork), mixed with vegetables like carrots, onions, and potatoes, then rolled into a log or a sausage-like shape.

To cook it, the embutido is boiled or steamed until it is fully cooked inside. Then, it is usually cooled and sliced into pieces.

Embutido is yummy and nutritious because it has meat and vegetables in it. It can be eaten as a main dish or as a snack. People also like to eat it with ketchup or dipping sauce.

So, think of embutido as a Filipino meatloaf that is healthy, filling, and delicious!
