1 250gpack cream cheesecut into thick strips (for cheesy embutido)
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a very large bowl (except cream cheese) and mix very well.
Cut several pieces of aluminum foil (about 10 inches in length) and grease the middle lightly with oil. Scoop 1 cup of the mixture into the middle and spread it to form a log, leaving 2-inch space on both sides. Roll tightly into a cylinder, pinch both ends and tuck under to seal. For cheesy Embutido, place a cup of the mixture and spread it flat (leaving 2 inches of space on both sides of the foil). Place strips of cheese in the middle, fold gently to enclose the cheese before rolling it into a cylinder.
Place all wrapped embutidos on a baking tray (I used two 9x12 inch glass Pyrex pans) seam side down and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 1 hour.
Unwrap and serve as is or lightly browned in a frying pan with a little bit of oil.
Notes
*This recipe makes nine 1 cup embutido rolls.**You can substitute the Spam with 2-3 cans of Vienna sausage that’s been finely diced.
