Pork Embutido or embotido, is a Philippine meatloaf made with ground pork and stuffed with hard-boiled eggs and sliced ham or various sausages. It is traditionally wrapped in aluminum foil and steamed, though it can also be baked. Embutido is commonly prepared during Christmas, fiestas, and other special occasions. It can be served hot or chilled, and is usually dipped in banana ketchup or some other type of sweet sauce. Despite the Spanish name, the dish is derived from the American meatloaf. The dish is usually anglicized as Filipino meatloaf.

Easy Crispy Pata Recipe

Crispy pata is a popular Filipino dish. The cooking process of this dish takes time but the effort is worth it.

Crispy pata is a Filipino dish consisting of deep fried pig trotters or knuckles served with a soy-vinegar dip. It can be served as party fare or an everyday dish. Many restaurants serve boneless pata as a specialty. The dish is quite similar to the German Schweinshaxe.

Wikipedia

Crispy Pata is known for its tender meat and crispy skin. Before cooking the pork and letting it simmer, remember to make slits on the skin. This is to ensure that all the delicious flavors from the ingredients are infused in the meat. Make sure to also dry the pork thoroughly after boiling, this is the secret to achieving that crisp skin!

Easy Yema Balls Recipe

Yema Balls are a sweet custard confectionary from the Philippines. It is made with egg yolks, milk, and sugar. The name yema is from Spanish for “egg yolk”.

Easy Yema Balls Recipe

Here is an easy Yema Balls recipe that every beginner cook could easily make.

What are Yema Balls?

Yema is a sweet custard confectionary from the Philippines. It is made with egg yolks, milk, and sugar. The name yema is from Spanish for “egg yolk”. Like other egg yolk-based Filipino desserts, it is believed that yema originated from early Spanish construction materials. During the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, egg whites mixed with quicklime and eggshells were used as a type of mortar to hold stone walls together. Filipinos reused the discarded egg yolks into various dishes. Among them is yema, which is possibly based on the Spanish pastry Yemas de Santa Teresa.
Yemas were originally made with only egg yolks and sugar, heated and stirred until the consistency is thick. They are then shaped into small balls or pyramids and covered in white sugar. Milk (or condensed milk) later became part of the recipe (probably during the American period). Modern variations also usually include chopped nuts.
