How to cook Longanisa like a pro

How to Cook Longanisa Like A Local

December 16, 2020

Filipinos pride themselves on their mastery of meat dishes. As their cooking techniques have been influenced by Mexican and Spanish cuisine, Filipino foods are the most savory and diverse in Southeast Asia. Longanisa is such a Spanish originated pork sausage with some Filipino twist to it. It is the heart of Filipino breakfast, served along with fried rice and sunny side up eggs. If you have ever been to the Philippines and tasted their golden trio of Longanisa, fried rice, and eggs as breakfast, you know it is delicious.  If you want to recreate the exact taste of authenticity at home, we have got you covered. And for those who never had the chance to taste the delicacy of Longanisa, you might never want other sausages after you have tried these recipes.

What Is So Special About Filipino Longanisa?

Filipino cuisine leans heavily on garlic and ginger flavor. One of the distinct features of Longanisa is that it is sold fresh, with no added preservatives. With just a change in condiments, Filipinos create a myriad of variations in Longanisa- there is Hamonado, the sweet and the savory, sour version, Derecado. Where Spanish Longaniza is solely made of pork, in the Philippines, you can find beef, chicken, and even with tuna .

However, every store in the Philippines adds its twist in making Longanisa, making them slightly stand apart in taste. You can find different variations of it in other parts of the Philippines.

How to Cook Longanisa

Longanisa can be found both skinless and encased in a wrapping. If you are up to sausage making, you can even make homemade with just a few ingredients, right in your kitchen. Apart from simple frying for breakfast, you can make various recipes out of Loganisa. Here are three simple Filipino breakfast recipes that you can try at home.
