Recipe by : Ariel Jasa, Mandaluyong City, Philippines |
Pork Hardinera is that complex dish from Quezon province which is a fusion of meatloaf, Menudo, and Embutido.
It is a special occasion dish with a lot of ingredients -- but well worth all the work!
This recipe is cooked by steaming in a banana-leaf lined loaf pan, it is like the meatloaf, except that it has cubed pork rather than ground.
The ingredients are like that of the menudo - and prepared just like it before setting on the loaf pan.
And, just like the embutido, it has hard-boiled eggs set in the center of the pan for a nice surprise once you cut into it.
