Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kilo Ground Pork 30% fat
  • 2 heads Garlic chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Pinakurat or Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • Dried Hog Casing soaked for 3 hours in water

Method
 

  1. Combine everything in a mixing bowl and let it rest in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight to develop its flavor.
  2. Put the mixture into the hog casing using a sausage stuffer and divide according to desired length.  
  3. Generously prick the longganisa to release some trapped air.  This will help to avoid bursting while cooking.
  4. Refrigerate for another 3 days before cooking.
  5. To cook, place the longganisa de recado in a pan and add 1/4 cup water.  Let it simmer until the fat oozed out of the longganisa.
  6. Let the longganisa de recado cooked in its own fat until golden brown.
