1 00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:03,900 We will make a Special Hardinera! 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,100 And of course, to make our Hardinera extra special, we will add Virginia Ham. 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,100 Virginia is also reminding us that Chrismas will continue on. 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,300 What we will add in our Special Hardinera is the Virginia Black Forest Ham. 5 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,900 This is a smoked ham. This is how it looks. 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,500 The color is very unique. 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,500 I'll just get about one cup and i'll also get an extra for our toppings. 8 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,000 The first thing we'll do is to fry the hotdog. 9 00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:35,300 If you don't have hotdog, it's fine to not add one. 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,100 And yes, what i'm using is the Virginia Hotdog. 11 00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:49,600 When the hotdog is fried already, let's just remove it from the fire and let's start sauteing. 12 00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:56,300 Let's saute the onions. You can saute the garlic first, just make sure you wont burn it. 13 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,300 And then add the garlic after. 14 00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:19,200 And now let's add the ground pork. 15 00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:21,800 And yes, you may use chicken or beef. 16 00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:26,500 Then let's add salt and pepper to taste. 17 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,900 Let's cook it until the color of our meat turns light brown. 18 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,100 The pork i'm using is kasim. 19 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,000 It's better to buy the kasim meat part so that the meat will not get smaller or shrink. 20 00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:45,200 Here, let's add the carrots, raisins, pickles, crushed pineapple, sweet peppers, and grated cheese. 21 00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:50,000 In the many versions of Hardinera, you can always put a lot of ingredients on it. 22 00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:56,200 You have an option not to add all or not add carrots. You may just add raisins, pickles, and pineapple. 23 00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,100 You may also do just pickles without pineapple 24 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,900 or no pickles just pineapple. 25 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,400 In other words, you can do your own version. 26 00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:09,800 Others actually don't use ground meat, they use cube meat instead. That's the popular version in Quezon. 27 00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:15,000 Before I forget, if you will have the meat grinded, always advise to remove the skin. 28 00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:19,200 So that's kasim with a little fat but without the skin. That's perfect! 29 00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:24,700 That kind of ground meat is perfect for spam, longganisa, chorizo, embutido, and a lot more. 30 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,600 And now let's add our fried hotdogs 31 00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:30,800 and our Virginia Black Forest Ham. 32 00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:35,100 And yes, you may use any Virginia Ham products. 33 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,200 Just cut it into small pieces. 34 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:43,100 Let's just continue cooking and let's mix it. However, it looks like the one I used for cooking is small 35 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,700 that's why we will transfer it so that I will not have a hard time. 36 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,500 If you noticed, there's a little water in our ground meat so I will not longer add water. 37 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,100 But if in your case it's dry, you may add a little water. 38 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,400 Here, let's continue cooking. 39 00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:02,200 Let's add the tomato sauce and banana ketchup. 40 00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:06,500 If you don't have banana ketchup, you can use the sweet style ketchup. 41 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,200 Let's mix it and cook it for 10-15 minutes over medium-low heat. 42 00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:17,300 And yes, you may add a little sugar and oyster sauce. 43 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,100 It's tastier when there's a litte sweetness. 44 00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:27,700 There, the liquid is already absorbed. 45 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,500 At this point, you may taste it so that you will know if it lacks saltiness or it lacks sweetness. 46 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,500 And if you're okay with the taste, you may turn off the fire and let out mixure cool completely. 47 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,400 When our mixture is cool, let's slightly beat some eggs. 48 00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:49,400 This will serve as our binder so that our hardinera will not separate from each other. 49 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,500 Then let's pour it in our mixture. 50 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,800 Again, the mixture should be cold before we add our slightly beaten eggs 51 00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:02,100 because if the ground meat is still hot, the eggs will be cooked. 52 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,200 So let's just mix it well until we have incorporated our ground meat and eggs. 53 00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:19,400 For our mold, since I want a big one, I used a cake pan. 54 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:23,900 Then I just added a parchment paper at the bottom, so that it can be easily removed. 55 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,200 Before we add our mixture, let's add a design at the bottom 56 00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:31,800 so that when we turn it over, it will look nice. 57 00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:36,800 So we sliced the egg into half so that the yolk will be shown and carrots that we formed into a flower. 58 00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:44,200 You may also add pineapples, raisins with peppers, and of course we will add the Black Forest Virginia Ham. 59 00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:49,100 So it will be up to you on what design you want for your Hardinera. 60 00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:54,700 So here's my design. Let's now add the mixture in our mold. 61 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,000 I will not fill all the mold; just about 1 and a half inches only. 62 00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:02,800 And yes, you may use a loaf pan and llanera as your mold. 63 00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:06,800 I will show you later if you want to use llanera as your mold. 64 00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:14,000 Then cover it with aluminun foil. Make sure you put the aluminum foil tightly. 65 00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:27,800 Here's our llanera mold. So just the same, add a parchment paper at the bottom of our mold and add a design. 66 00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:32,600 You may use banana leaf if you have access to it. 67 00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:34,400 And yes, you can also use aluminum foil. 68 00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:38,800 On the other hand, the banana leaf contributes to the taste and aroma. 69 00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:41,500 If you're using llanera, you may fill it up. 70 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,700 So what we made is one big pan and two medium sized llanera. 71 00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:01,300 Let's put our big hardinera in a steam basket. 72 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,000 This is the first one I will cook. 73 00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:06,200 I can only heat one because my steamer is small. 74 00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:11,300 Let's steam it for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until it sets. 75 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000 You may check it after an hour to see if it's all good. 76 00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:15,700 That's what I did. 77 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,800 So here it is after 1 hour and 15 minutes. 78 00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:22,000 If you want to make sure, you may use a stick. 79 00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:26,300 Just poke it to see if it's firm or it's set. Check if it does not separate anymore. 80 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,900 But just by looking at it, you will know that it's already cooked right? 81 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,400 Let's remove it and let it cool for 15 to 30 minutes before we remove it in the mold 82 00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:36,600 so that it will not get destroyed. 83 00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:40,300 And when it has been rested, you may already remove it from the mold. 84 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,200 So let's just scrape the sides to release our Hardinera. 85 00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:49,100 And yes, when it's already cold, you may place it in the fridge overnight. 86 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,900 Then let's transfer it in a big plate. 87 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,500 But I will transfer it in a chopping board instead. 88 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,300 This is my chopping board for food display. 89 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,800 I just added a parchment paper. 90 00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:06,400 And here is our Special and Beautiful Hardinera. 91 00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:09,000 So our parchement paper is left in our mold. 92 00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:13,900 For our two small Hardinera; if you want to give it as a gift or to sell it, 93 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,900 you may place it in clear packs. 94 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,700 And by the way, these Hardinera in the llanera is cooked for 45 minutes to 1 hour over low heat. 95 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,000 Here, let's just cover it and to make it nicer for gifts this Christmas, 96 00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:30,900 you may place a ribbon. 97 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,800 And of course, a red ribbon is really suitable for Christmas and New Year. 98 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,600 So it's more presentable, right?

I can't explain it! 147 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:58,000 The taste is the same but there's really a slight difference. It's more tasty! 148 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,100 Yeah! 149 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,200 Cause my mom is so fond of cooking embutido. 150 00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:18,100 When I was young, there's always embutido every Christmas, New Year, and Birthdays. 151 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,000 I'm really familiar with the taste. 152 00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:28,500 So now that i've cooked Hardinera, you can really compare it embutido. 153 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:36,500 Both are still delicious but this is really tastier. 154 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,000 It's because of the ingredients we added. 155 00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:47,300 The smoke flavor Virginia Black Forest Ham, it's really delicous. 156 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:53,300 It's gives a different texture and flavor in our Hardinera. 157 00:12:53,400 --> 00:13:00,700 That's why this Christmas, don't forget to add the Virginia Black Forest Ham in your grocery list for you to taste it. 158 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,300 And to make your simple Christmas special. 159 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:11,700 You can also try the their other ham, they have plenty of varieties that you can choose from. 160 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,800 If you want to use them, you may do so. 161 00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:20,400 And there's a free pineapple syrup in our ham.
