Everlasting

Everlasting is a Filipino style steamed meatloaf prepared with minced pork, cheese, chorizo, raisins, pickle relish, capsicum and eggs

Story says that this dish from Marikina was originally created out of left over ubiquitous type of menudo from carinderia where diners never choose as it was everywhere resulting to recycling it to become this wonderful dish. As time progressed it was prepared from fresh ingredients rather than leftovers. Everlasting, also known as the Marikina meatloaf is prepared with minced pork, Chorizo de Bilbao, capsicum, raisins, pickle relish, onions, and eggs steamed in a llanera, a type of oval aluminium mould popular in the Philippines.

The dish is popular especially during fiestas in Marikina and especially the Christmas season where it is prepared by most families during this occasion. It can be consumed as it is or like embutido you can slice it then pan fry them afterwards. Enjoy it with rice or palaman of your favourite bread. If you happen to visit Marikina there are many shops that sell this and the most popular one is Mama Ting’s but since I am 11 hours away via plane ride, I would rather prepare them at home for now.
