Longganisa is a Filipino sausage commonly served at breakfast along with fried rice and fried eggs. It comes in various sizes and tastes. The authentic longganisa can be found in Lucban, Quezon Province, and it has a garlicky taste to it. Pampanga Province is also known for its combination of sweet and sour longganisa. In the Philippines, originally, pork fat was used. Store bought versions always contain pork fat, and they are wrapped in a sausage casing.
Longganisa is always reddish in color because of the food coloring and commercial chemicals used. However, our homemade sausage is natural, safe, fresh, and healthy. Worcestershire, annatto oil, and tobasco sauces are all optional ingredients. They can be made without any of these ingredients, however. To make the shape a perfect log, wax paper is ideal. You can also use sausage casings if they are available. If you miss longganisa for breakfast, make it this weekend. Don’t forget to serve it up with some fried rice. Bonn appetit!
