Lucban Hardinera Recipe

Hardinera is a type of steamed dish made out of pork, hotdogs, pineapple, peppers, raisins, eggs and pickles, it closely resembles embutido but instead of ground pork hardinera used chopped pork pieces. Hardinera also is steamed traditionally in a llanera or a mould used to cook leche flan unlike embutido where it is shaped like a log held together by an aluminium foil.

This dish is popular in Southern Luzon and considered to be the Lucban’s Top four. Top four meaning top four dishes served during special occasions like fiesta’s, birthdays and Christmas. So if you are in the region during these special events you will definitely be served with this four, the hardinera, embutido, pastel and kaldereta.
