Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground pork

- 3 large eggs
- 100 grams cheddar cheese
- 120 grams bread crumbs
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium bell pepper

- 2 tablespoons pickle relish
- 50 grams raisins
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large hard boiled eggs

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F).
Finely chop the carrot, bell pepper, and onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, ground chicken, chopped vegetables, and cheddar cheese.
Add in the eggs, bread crumbs, pickle relish, raisins, salt, and ground black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Lay out the aluminum foil sheets and divide the meat mixture equally onto each sheet.
Place a hard-boiled egg and a hot dog lengthwise in the middle of each meat mixture.
Gently shape the mixture around the egg and hot dog to form a log, ensuring that they are entirely covered and the log is compact.
Wrap the aluminum foil tightly around each meat log and seal the ends securely.
Place the wrapped embutido logs on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before unwrapping.
Slice the embutido before serving, and enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
