Longganisa or Filipino sausage is a popular dish for breakfast in the Philippines. We usually have it with eggs, sunny-side-up, and fried rice, or also known as LongSiLog or Longganisa (Filipino sausage), Sinangag (fried rice) at Itlog (egg).
It’s either prepared in a hog casing or skinless (without the casing). Skinless is much easier to prepare for me not to mention, I don’t think I’ll ever find hog casing here in the U.S.
This was my first time to prepare the skinless longganisa. I usually just buy a pack or two at the Asian Market although the ones that we bought were usually the ones in the hog casing.
Longganisa can be prepared using pork, beef, chicken or tuna. I have tried them all back in my hometown, but I went with using pork here following a recipe that I saw online.
It was so easy to prepare with little ingredients that I told myself, why did I wait so long to make these? 🙂
I actually thought it would be a tedious job knowing I’d be forming them to sausages. I was wrong.
This is my son’s favorite too and he was so delighted when he found out I was making it.
The recipe would make up to two dozen sausages so I placed the others in the freezer. The next time we’ll have them again, I’ll just thaw them out and cook ’em up!
This recipe is really good, but there are a lot of skinless longganisa recipes online as well as the one with the hog casing or what is plainly called longganisa.
I may have to try a different recipe next time.
This is the recipe that I followed.
Happy Food Friday, friends!
This looks delicious! I cannot wait to try this recipe! We have a few Filipino stores in the neighborhood, I am gong to get these sausages this weekend!
That’s awesome! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do, Mitch.
Who would not love that sausage with fried rice and eggs for an amazing breakfast. It is great that you can have all those varieties of sausage and meat.
I’ve never seen this or heard of it, but it looks good! I’ve never actually had food from the Philippines but it always looks delicious.
Those look really good and tasty. I would love to try these out someday.
I haven’t heard of these before. I’m always trying to find new foods that my family will eat and they love sausage! Gotta try this soon.
These look quite tasty! I checked out the recipe, and the ingredients seem like a delicious combination! I don’t think the second batch in the freezer would last long around here!
I have friends who make their own German sausage, so there must be a way to get hog casing, but I’m not sure where they get it from.
But to be honest, I prefer sausage without casing, since the casing seems kind of tough to chew. This look delicious.
Oh my goodness! These sausages are so perfect for summer! I am mouthwatering!
This look so tasty! I think you made a good call going for the skinless version!
This recipe is something my family would enjoy. I think I will try it with chicken. Mmmmm.
These sausages look so yum! It would be perfect for Summer!
This looks like a yummy recipe! I would love to try making this sometime.
