Ingredients

Servings

• 500 g of minced meat (pork or chicken, I made it with chicken)

• 2 raw eggs

• 1 grated carrot

• 1 red pepper, cut into small cubes

• 1 slice of ham or 1 sausage

• 100 g grated cheese (gruyere or cheddar)

• 50 g raisins (optional, for a sweet touch)

• 3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled (whole or cut in half)

• 50 g gluten-free breadcrumbs (I crushed gluten-free cracottas)

• 2 Tbsp . gluten-free ketchup

• 1 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Aluminum foil for baking

Preparation

1. Prepare the stuffing: In a large bowl, mix the ground meat, raw eggs, grated carrot, pepper, gluten-free breadcrumbs, raisins, ketchup and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until you obtain a homogeneous preparation.
2. Shape the Embutido: Spread a large sheet of aluminum foil on your work surface. Place a portion of the stuffing in the center and flatten it into a rectangle about 1 cm thick. Place the ham (or sausage) and hard-boiled eggs in the middle, aligning them along the entire length.
   
3. Roll: Using the aluminum foil, roll the stuffing around the eggs to form a sausage. Wrap tightly in foil and seal ends well.
   
4. Cooking: Steam option: Steam the rolls for 1 hour. Oven option: Place the embutido in a baking dish and bake at 180°C for 40 to 50 minutes.
5. Finishing (optional): Once cooked, unwrap the Embutido and lightly brown it in the pan for a nice color.
6. Let cool slightly before cutting into thick slices. Arrange the pieces on a serving dish and accompany them with white rice or a salad.

Note

Serve the embutido in thick slices and accompany it with sweet and sour sauce or sriracha sauce.
