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 Chicken Pastel Recipe

Chicken Pastel is a traditional savory casserole dish originating in the Philippines.

Chicken Pastel or Pastel de Pollo in Spanish, is the Filipino version of the Chicken Pot Pie or empanada without the pie crust.

The chicken in the pastel recipe may be replaced with any kind of meat, including pork or duck.

There are many variations of the dish depending on the region. Filipino families even often have their own interpretations. In nearly every version of the dish, the main ingredients are diced chicken meat and sausages. Chorizo sausages are commonly used, but hot dogs or vienna sausages could be substituted for real sausage.

Filipinos often eat this dish with rice. Many Filipino foods have Spanish or Mexican roots but the influx of Chinese settlers inspired the use of rice in Filipino cooking. That is why a lot of the European foods that were introduced to the Philippines were adapted to the traditional rice and viand mixes.
