Instructions
-
Start boiling water in a medium saucepan for a steamer basket.
-
Combine pork, carrot, bell pepper, relish, salt, white pepper, and eggs in a large bowl.
-
Tightly pack the mixture into 2 to 3 empty 14-ounce cans, leaving 1/4-inch space, then cover the tops with foil.
-
Place the covered cans in the steamer basket, lower heat to medium-high, and steam for 45-55 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 F, checking water levels as needed.
-
Carefully remove cans and let them cool for 20 minutes.
-
Remove the foil, invert the cans, and tap to release the embutido, using a knife around the edges if necessary.
-
Wrap each embutido cylinder tightly and chill for several hours or overnight to ensure clean slicing.
-
Unwrap, slice into 1/2-inch pieces, and serve garnished with ketchup.
