Homemade Skinless Longganisa Recipe

Skinless Longganisa Recipe

Skinless Longganisa is nothing new to Filipinos. It is one of the favorite ulam during breakfast and it usually comes in a trio: Longganisa, Sinangag (fried rice), Itlog (fried egg) or LongSiLog. You’d expect this to be served in canteens, carinderias, ‘silog’ restaurants, and even in fast food chains.

Processed or cured meat such as Longganisa has long faced controversy due to its safety when it comes to health. Some of these type of products contain chemicals or preservatives to lengthen shelf life. Today, if you’re a health buff, you’d usually shy away from these types of food.

But admit it, Skinless Longganisa is really good. Its sweet salty taste, paired with a garlicky rice would definitely give you a good start for the whole day.

But don’t worry, you can actually make these at home! And a better news is that no chemicals or preservatives will be used. This recipe is all- natural!

Practice making this craft and try making big batches. I’m sure your neighbors will love them and even buy from you!
