Filipino Meatloaf on Sourdough Rolls

Thanks, Mom — your homecooked meals gave me the idea for this yummy sandwich! This is a riff on my mother Vicki’s delicious embutido — a Filipino ground pork meatloaf with hard-boiled eggs and green olives layered inside it. Some Pinoys use raisins, but I really hate raisins in meat, and luckily, Mom never added […]

Frou-frou tasting menu-y, I know — I admit, I’m definitely a foodie who loves her delicious-sounding, exotically overwritten restaurant blurbs. This sammy is actually cheap and easy, and you can call it Roasted Cauliflower and Prosicutto on Sourdough instead, to de-pretentious it. Funnily enough, I didn’t realize that there’s a 2013 trend of “cauliflower steak” […]
