Skinless Longganisa
Description
Skinless Longganisa is a type of pork sausage from the Philippines known for its sweet and garlicky flavor profile. This recipe uses lean ground pork combined thoroughly with brown sugar for sweetness, rice vinegar for tang, lots of finely chopped garlic, black pepper, annatto powder which imparts a mild color and subtle flavor, salt, and some flour to help bind the mixture. The use of annatto powder provides a reddish hue typical of traditional longganisa.
Instead of a casing, the mixture is spooned onto square pieces of wax or parchment paper and shaped into logs about 8-10 cm long and 2 cm thick. Once wrapped tightly, the sausages are stored in the refrigerator overnight or longer to let flavors develop. They are cooked by removing the paper and frying in oil over medium heat until browned on all sides and fully cooked inside.
This method yields sweet, fragrant sausages that can be enjoyed for breakfast or any meal. The absence of casing makes preparation simpler while still delivering the characteristic flavors of longganisa.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork lean
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 5 big cloves garlic - chopped finely
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 4 teaspoons annatto powder aka achuete powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until well blended. I usually use my hands.
- Cover the bowl and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before wrapping.
- Cut pieces of wax or parchment paper in 12x12cm sizes.
- Spoon a spoonful of the meat into a wrapper and spread along one side forming a log, approximately 8-10cm long and 2cm thick. Roll and wrap then fold both ends to close and seal.
- Place the Longganisas in a plastic bag or box and store in the fridge at least overnight before cooking. It can be in the fridge for several days or store in the freezer if planning to store longer.
- To cook, remove wax paper and fry in 3-4 Tablespoon oil over medium heat, turning a few times until all sides are browned and cooked through.
