Filipino Skinless Sausage (Embotido) Recipe

 

 

Embotido is my go-to because it brings me back to my childhood when my mom used to make it for the whole family. Every family in our nation has their own secret recipe for embutido, and its widespread popularity stems from its simplicity and convenience.

In Spanish, a sausage is called embutido. It was the Spanish conquerors that introduced the recipe to the nation. The Spanish, who ruled us for 333 years, left their mark on nearly every one of our cuisine. However, the recipe changes over time as a result of the adaptability of our ancestors, which may have an impact on the ingredients that are readily available in each geographic region.

The flavor is simple and flavorful thanks to the garlic powder and onion powder. And carrots give us natural sweetness and color, while the mushroom gives you the texture and earthy flavor. Cranberries add a pleasant fruity flavor and chewy texture. The quail egg, and bundnerfleisch adds character, and the fish sauce adds a taste that works well with the embutido’s overall flavor.

The embutido always takes me back to the good times I had with my loved ones back in the Philippines. I hope that by telling others about the food and customs of my small country, they would come to appreciate and enjoy them as much as I have. The inspiration to make this meal came from that realization. Every great chef exudes an infectious enthusiasm that inspires others around them, but what truly separates them from the crowd is their ability to amuse guests with tales of their travels and the flavors of their native lands.
