my complicated life

my sister-in-law is very particular of how a food tastes. however, she praised the embutido that i made last Friday. yummy daw! because of that, i'm sharing my recipe! here goes....

ingredients:
ground pork
onions - finely chopped
carrots - finely chopped
raisins - sunmaid brand
celery or spring onions - finely chopped
hotdog slices
hardboiled eggs / salted eggs - sliced
breadcrumbs
eggs - beaten
salt to taste
optional : shrimp - debonned and sliced in half

procedure:
1. mix the ingredients well. ensure that mixture is not too dry or wet.
2. place the boiled eggs slices in the middle.
3. wrap in aluminum foil.
4. cook in steamer for 30-45 mins. until cooked.
5. served as fried

note: half kilo of pork makes 4-5 rolls of embutido

with the recipe above, it can be observed that there is no quantity specified. before, i tried making embutido straight from the recipe book. it didn't turn out quite well. however, when i made embutido just relying on my sense of taste, smell and gut feeling, the embutido tastes magnificent! hehe nde naman ako sobrang exaggerated non! =) like life, sometimes it helps not to have definite sets of instructions or expectations. just take it as it is. for all you know, it'll turn out more than what you have expected. as long as you know what will make you happy, then go for it! ako, i know what will make me happy. medyo mahirap kunin, but noone except God can stop me. medyo nade-depress for each failed attempt, pero no, i won't let failures snatch away my happiness.
