Recipe Filipino Lumpia (Main Dish)
Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- 1 lumpia wrappers
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/3 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
- 1/3 cup finely chopped carrot
- 1 quart oil for frying
Preparing/Cooking:
- Make sure the lumpia wrappers are completely thawed.
- Lay several out on a clean dry surface and cover with a damp towel.
- The wrappers are very thin and the edges will dry out quickly.
- In a medium bowl, blend together the ground beef and pork, onion, green pepper and carrot.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture along the center of the wrapper.
- The filling should be no bigger around than your thumb or the wrapper will burn before the meat is cooked.
- Fold one edge of the wrapper over to the other.
- Fold the outer edges in slightly, then continue to roll into a cylinder.
- Wet your finger, and moisten the edge to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping finished lumpias covered to prevent drying.
- This is a good time to recruit a friend or loved one to make the job less repetitive!!Heat oil in a 9 inch skillet at medium to medium high heat until oil is 365 to 375 degrees F (170 to 175 degrees C) Fry 3-4 lumpia at a time.
- It should only take about 2-3 minutes for each side.
- The lumpia will be nicely browned when done.
- Drain on paper towels.
- You can cut each lumpia into thirds for parties, if you like.
- In the Philippines, lumpia was eaten with banana ketchup, but I've never seen it sold in America.
