Hardinera – In Quezon Province, they call this hardinera. In the Visayas, it is embutido. We got this recipe when we watched one of the episodes of Kapuso mo, Jessica Sojo, our favorite Saturday night show. We have cooked this recipe and our kids find it appetizing. We think by adding more pineapple chunks and its syrup will make it more flavorful. Just like embutido that is usually served during fiesta, you can prepare several hardineras for give aways. So try this out…
