How to cook Everlasting (Marikina Meatloaf):
In a bowl, combine the meat mixture ingredients; ground pork, chorizo de bilbao, hotdogs, pickle relish, bell peppers, onions, soy sauce, ground pepper and salt. Mix all the ingredients until it is well combined using your hands.
In a large pan, heat the margarine and saute the garlic until fragrant. Add the meat mixture and saute. Stir cook until meat is slightly brown and have absorbed some of the liquid.
Add in the tomato catsup and tomato paste and continue to stir to avoid the meat sticking on the bottom of the wok. Add in the grated cheese and continue to stir until the cheese is melted. Turn off heat and let it cool.
Beat the eggs in a bowl and add the salt. Transfer the meat mixture in a big bowl and combine the beaten eggs. Mix all the ingredients until uniform in mixture.
Prepare some llanera (aluminum pans for making leche flan) or baking pans and brush some softened margarine on the sides and bottom of the pans. Lay on the bottom of the pans the garnishing such as sliced hard boiled eggs and carrots.
Pour the combined egg and meat mixture in individual baking pans and cover with cling wrap or aluminum foil. Put in a steamer and cook for about one hour in low heat. Insert toothpick in the center to check the doneness. Remove from the baking pans serve.
