This Hardinera recipe is a modified version of hardinera from Quezon province which is their version of embutido. I think the original hardinera recipe does not have pineapples. Raisins is I think the only dried fruit mixed in this recipe along with the rest of the ingredients below. You can enhance the sweet and sour taste of this recipe by adding more pineapple chunks and a few teaspoons of pineapple syrup.
To cook hardinera; Saute the ground pork in onion and garlic. Then add the liver spread. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine carrots, pickles, luncheon meat, hotdog, pineapple, nestle cream, cream of mushroom and pork mixture. Beat the eggs and add it to the mixture. Then add the flour and mix thoroughly. Put the mixture in a llanera or pan for steaming. Then steam for 2 hours. Serve with hard boiled eggs.
