How to Make Iloilo Longganisa: Step-by-Step Guide
Iloilo is known for its beautiful sights and notable delicacies, one of which is its famous longganisa. This mouth-watering sausage has a distinct taste and aroma that makes it a popular breakfast item in the region.
If you’re craving for Iloilo longganisa but can’t find it in your local grocery store, worry no more! You can make it at home with some simple and easy-to-find ingredients. In this article, we’ll take you through a step-by-step guide on how to make Iloilo longganisa at home.
Ingredients:
– 1/2 kilogram ground pork
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon salt
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon vinegar
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– Hog casings
Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Clean and prep the hog casings.
Before anything else, make sure the hog casings are cleaned and prepped. Look for hog casings in your local meat shop. Soak the hog casings in water for at least an hour to make them easier to use.
Step 2: Mix the ingredients.
In a bowl, mix together ground pork, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix the ingredients well. Make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Add vinegar and soy sauce.
Pour in the vinegar and soy sauce and continue mixing. The vinegar and soy sauce will give the longganisa a tangy kick.
Step 4: Stuff the hog casings with the mixture.
Attach the hog casings to a sausage stuffer, which can be found in most kitchen supply stores. Fill the hog casings with the mixture, making sure there are no air pockets inside.
Step 5: Form links.
Tie a knot at the end of the filled casing. Using your hands, separate the longganisa into desired link lengths.
Step 6: Let it rest.
Hang the longganisa in a cool, dry place for at least 8 hours to let the flavors develop.
Step 7: Cook and serve.
Iloilo longganisa can be cooked in different ways. One way is to pan-fry it until golden brown on both sides. You can also grill it or bake it in the oven. Serve hot and enjoy!

3. Can I make the mixture ahead of time?

4. Can I cook the longganisa right away?
Yes, you can cook the longganisa right away after stuffing it into the hog casings. However, letting it rest for at least 8 hours will help the flavors develop.
5. Can I reuse hog casings?
