How to Wrap Embotidos

Cut aluminum foil about 1 foot long. Spread about 1 cup of meat mixture about 4" X 7" and spread on one end of the foil or cheesecloth and flatten with a spoon. Put 3 to 4 Vienna sausage lengthwise on the meat mixture, 4 quartered hardboiled eggs, and 6 to 8 olives.  Cover with another cup of meat mixture. Roll aluminum foil slowly making sure the sausages, eggs, and olives are in the middle of the Embotido. Roll until you reach the other end. Fold and seal the ends on both sides. Steam for 1 hour in a double pot steamer or bake in the oven at a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 1 hour. Cool and slice 1/2" crosswise to serve.
