For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of finely minced onion or garlic to the meat mixture. If you don't have chorizo de Bilbao, you can substitute with other spicy Spanish sausage or even a pinch of red pepper flakes. To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf. It should reach 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Embutido can be served hot or cold. It also tastes great in sandwiches!

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
Step
15 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground pork, sliced luncheon meat, chorizo de Bilbao, chopped sweet pickle, raisins, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough meatloaf. Form the mixture into two even logs.
03
Step
5 mins
Wrap each log tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring the seams are well-sealed to prevent moisture loss. Place the wrapped logs in a baking dish.
04
Step
1 hrs 10 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. After baking, let the meatloaves rest for 10-15 minutes before unwrapping.
05
Step
10 mins
Carefully drain the drippings from the baking dish into a small saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture into the saucepan with the drippings.
06
Step
10 mins
Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
07
Step
5 mins
Unwrap the meatloaves and slice them into approximately 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and drizzle generously with the savory sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
