Usually, embutido is made with ground pork. I didn't have pork on hand, so I used some good ole' grass fed ground beef. I winged this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (get the leanest possible)
- 2 cups of baby carrots
- 2 cups of baby spinach
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 medium white onion
- 3 XL eggs
- 6 slices of bacon
- Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a small pot, hard boil 2 eggs (on medium heat, cook until 12 minutes after it starts boiling)
- In your food processor, blend all of your veggies
- Season your ground beef with Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning, to taste
- Mix veggies and beef by hand, add the 3rd egg and mix well
- Pan fry your bacon until crispy, set aside and drain excess grease, dice and mix into veggie/meat mix
- Peel and quarter your hard boiled eggs
- Set out 3 sheets of foil
- Separate veggie/meat mix to make 3 loaves and add 2-3 slices of the hard boiled eggs
- Grab some meat and surround the hard boiled eggs
- Form your loaf into the shape of a cylinder and wrap foil to maintain its shape, twist ends to lock in place
- Repeat for the rest of the loaves
- On a baking sheet, line it with foil and evenly place the loaves
- Bake for 45 minutes
- Let cool
- While it is cooling, cook a couple eggs over easy
- Slice loaves into 1" slices
- Take several slices, place the egg on top and enjoy!
