Embutido

Embutido is a Filipino style meatloaf shaped like a log that is either steamed and bake until thoroughly cooked. It is oftentimes pan-fried to add color to the outer skin before finally being served into slices. Much like lumpia, it is often served at Filipino parties and gatherings but most especially on Christmas Eve or Noche Buena.
