How to Make Authentic Aklan Longganisa: A Step-by-Step Guide
Filipinos are known for their love of sausages – and for good reasons. The country has a wide variety of sausages made with different spices, herbs, and meats, but one of the most flavorful is the Aklan longganisa.
Aklan is a province in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines that’s known for its distinct cuisine. Aklan longganisa, for instance, is a type of sausage made with ground pork and various spices, including garlic, salt, and pepper. It’s usually eaten for breakfast and served with rice, egg, and vinegar.
If you’re a fan of longganisa, you might want to try making this Aklan longganisa recipe at home. The good news is that it’s not that complicated, and the ingredients are readily available. In this article, we’ll show you how to make authentic Aklan longganisa step-by-step recipe.
Ingredients:
To make Aklan longganisa, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 kilo ground pork
– 1 head garlic, chopped
– 2 tbsp. salt
– 1 tbsp. ground black pepper
– 1 tbsp. vinegar
– 2 tbsp. brown sugar
– 2 tbsp. annatto powder
– Natural hog casings (optional)
– Cooking oil
– Water
Instructions for Aklan Longganisa Recipe:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic, salt, pepper, vinegar, brown sugar, and annatto powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. If using hog casings, prepare them by soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to stuffing. Once they’re ready, run cold water through the casings to remove any excess salt.
3. Take a portion of the mixture and stuff it into the hog casings. Tie the ends of the sausages with butcher’s twine, then twist the casing to form individual sausages.
Note: If you don’t have hog casings, you can still form the mixture into patties and skip this step.
4. If using the patties option, take a portion of the mixture and form it into a ball using your hands. Flatten it into a patty shape.
5. In a frying pan, heat some cooking oil. Once hot, add the sausages or patties, and cook on low heat until they start to brown. It’ll take about 3-5 minutes on each side.
6. Once the sausages or patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. If preferred, you can add additional toppings such as sliced tomatoes or onions. Serve with rice, egg, vinegar, and enjoy!
