Grandma’s Morcon

grandma's morcon

I thought of grandma today, so I am making one of her specialties.

Ingredients:
1/2 kg of pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon of lime juice
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 hardboiled egg, shelled and sliced into 4 (for stuffing)
1 piece of Chorizo de Bilbao, cut into 4 strips (for stuffing)
4 strips of bacon (for stuffing)
50 grams of carrots, cut into 4 strips (for stuffing)
1 piece of whole pickles, cut into 4 strips (for stuffing)
50 grams of Cheddar cheese, cut into 4 strips (for stuffing)
1 small red pepper, cut into 4 strips (for stuffing)
80 grams of Del Monte tomato sauce
2 tablespoons of oil

Method:
1. Pound pork to flatten. Sprinkle with lime juice and soy sauce.
2. Starting on one end of the meat, arrange in alternate rows the stuffing until all are used up. Roll and tie with a string (crocheting thread). Sprinkle with flour then brown all sides in 2 tablespoons oil.
3. Transfer meat into saucepan, then add Del Monte tomato sauce and 1¼ cups water. Cover and let it simmer over low heat for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove strings and slice.

Happy Cooking 🙂
