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!

      Extra Creamy Carbonara Recipe

      Here is a very easy extra creamy carbonara recipe that you could prepare at home. Even a beginner cook can prepare this.

      Carbonara is a popular Italian pasta dish that Filipinos love. This pasta dish is a common alternative to Spaghetti.

      What is Carbonara?

      Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish from Rome made with egg, hard cheese, cured pork, and black pepper. The dish arrived at its modern form, with its current name, in the middle of the 20th century.
      The cheese is usually Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or a combination of the two. Spaghetti is the most common pasta, but fettuccine, rigatoni, linguine, or bucatini are also used. Normally guanciale or pancetta are used for the meat component, but lardons of smoked bacon are a common substitute outside Italy.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonara

      The traditional Filipino carbonara includes these three main ingredients: fettuccine, ham, and milk. But in this recipe, we will make it extra creamy by adding cheese and cream.

      What is Hardinera?

      Hardinera (Philippine Spanish: jardinera), also known as the Quezon meatloaf or the Lucban meatloaf, is a Filipino meatloaf made with diced or ground pork topped with sliced hard-boiled eggs, pineapples, carrots, bell peppers, peas, tomatoes, and raisins, among others. The ingredients used are identical to the ones used in Filipino menudo; while the cooking process is similar to the Filipino embutido. It is traditionally steamed in an oval-shaped tin mold known as a llanera (or lyanera), which is also used to make leche flan. It originates from the province of Quezon in Luzon Island.

      Easy Lechon Kawali Recipe

      Lechon kawali is simply crispy pork belly deep-fried in a pan or wok (kawali).

      Easy Lechon Kawali Recipe

      What is Lechon Kawali?

      Lechon kawali is simply crispy pork belly deep-fried in a pan or wok (kawali). It is also known as lechon carajay, in some areas of the Philippines.

      Lechon Kawali is boiled first in a seasoning mixture. It is then fried to a crisp. After frying, it is chopped into pieces. It is usually eaten with rice accompanied with a dipping sauce, such as “lechon sauce” traditionally made with pork liver, or toyomansi (pormanteu of soy sauce with calamansi). Atsara (unripe papaya pickles) is a favorite side dish too!

      Lechon Kawali, when fried extensively until it becomes crispy and crunchy, then becomes the Ilocano Bagnet. Bagnet is a variant of chicharon.

      Left-overs could be used as the protein for vegetable dishes like Pinakbet and stir-fried water spinach with shrimp paste.

      By the way, this dish should not be mistaken for the traditional lechon. Both dishes are prepared differently. A basic lechon recipe is HERE. Maybe it was called that way as a means of comparison to the crispy texture of the pork skin. Almost every Filipino kitchen has a kawali (wok or frying pan). Hence the name, pan fried crispy pork. Below is a picture of a typical Filipino kawali:

      Filipino Aluminum Kawali

      How To Cook:

      The first step in cooking this dish is to boil the pork belly in seasoned water. The flavors from the seasonings are absorbed by the pork belly while boiling. It is important to get the pork belly really tender at this stage. When done, rub the pork belly with salt after it has cooled down.

      The next step is deep-frying the pork belly in very hot oil. Deep-frying makes the pork belly (particularly the skin, crispy and crunchy). If the oil is not enough to completely deep-fry the pork belly, make sure to completely fry all sides.

      NOTE: Deep-frying may result in oil splatters. Be very careful. Make sure you have a pan cover ready just in case the oil splatters. Just make sure not to cover completely so as not to create steam, which in turn might result into more oil splatters.

        Easy Pakbet Tagalog Recipe

        Pakbet Tagalog is a variant of Pinakbet. The original pinakbet (pakbet) is made from mixed vegetables steamed in fish sauce (bagoong).

        Easy Pakbet Tagalog Recipe

        Pakbet Tagalog is a variant of Pinakbet. Pinakbet (also called pakbet) originated from the Ilocos region of the Philippines. The original pinakbet (pakbet) is made from mixed vegetables steamed in fish sauce (bagoong). The original Ilocano pinakbet (pakbet) uses bagoong of fermented fish.

        This easy pakbet tagalog recipe is a minor twist from the original Ilocano dish. In this recipe, we will be using bagoong alamang (shrimp paste) instead of bagoong isda.

        Pakbet Tagalog usually use bitter gourds (ampalaya), eggplants (talong), tomatoes (kamatis), okra, string beans (sitaw), and calabaza (kalabasa).

        Our recipe also uses pork belly (liempo). You could also used left-over lechon kawali or lechon liempo if you have any. This saves time.

        It is ideal to use fresh vegetables for this dish. The best partner when serving this dish is fish.
