Morcon

Morcon are delicious Filipino stuffed meat rolls. They usually consist of thin slices of pork or beef wrapped around neatly arranged sausages, carrots, pickles, and hard-boiled eggs. The rolls are shortly braised, then usually served sliced alongside thick sauces based on tomatoes or soy. Morcon is a dish prepared on various special occasions and is commonly enjoyed on New Year’s Day, since many Filipinos believe that eating round-shaped food will ensure prosperity in the following year.
