Ingredients

Longganisa Emboitido

  • 1 Cup Zucchini Grated
  • 1 Cup Steamed Sweet Potato
  • 4 Dates Pit's removed and soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes
  • 1 Pound Ground Pork 80/20
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Head Garlic Peeled and Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • Vegetable Oil For Drizzling

Ketchup Sauce

  • ½ Cup Ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Vinegar
  • 3 Cloves Garlic Peeled and Minced

Instructions

  • Pre-Heat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Heat up 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan. Once the oil is heated up add in the 1 cup grated zucchini and cook for 5-7 minutes on medium heat. Just until you start to see it wilt and the water starts to cook out. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Add in the steamed sweet potato and soaked and drained dates In a food processor or blender. I found that it's better to pre-chop the dates so that it blends better with the sweet potato. Pulse for a few minutes until the sweet potato and dates are blended together. It's okay if there are still tiny whole bits of dates.
  • Now prepare the Longganisa Embotido mixture. Add the 1 pound of ground pork, date and sweet potato mixture, cooked zucchini, eggs, garlic, soy sauce and paprika in a large bowl. With super clean hands mix it all together until fully combined. Wash your hands again.
  • Roll out foil (About 13 inches) and drizzle with oil.
  • Place the Longganisa Embotido mixture in the middle and form a long log. About 6-8 inches making sure it's even on all sides.
  • Wrap it all up tightly using the foil and place on top of a baking sheet lined with foil.
  • Bake in the oven at 350F for 1 hour. Take out of the oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the Longganisa Embotido is baking you can make the sauce. Mix together ½ cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon diced garlic. Mix well and transfer to a small serving bowl.
  • Once the Longganisa Embotido has cooled down a bit unwrap the foil and cut into thick one inch pieces.
  • Place on a serving platter with the ketchup sauce in the middle.
