Skinless Choriso (Longganisa)

Who doesn't love choriso or longganisa? A breakfast staple in most households as it is one of the most popular processed meats in the market. 

But sometimes we tend to make our own just to be sure of the quality of the food we are eating at the same time make it attune to our tastebuds.

Here's the recipe on how to make Skinless Choriso or Longganisa




Ingredients
  • 1 kilo ground pork 
  • 1 head garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons fine salt
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten


How to make Skinless Choriso or Longganisa
  1. In a bowl, mix everything thoroughly by hand.
  2. Taste test by frying a small portion of the mix. Adjust flavor to suit your taste.
  3. When it is to your liking, shape into thin logs then wrap with plastic wrapper. Or you can just divide the whole mixture into 4 packs and just shape when about to fry.
  4. Refrigerate the longganisa mix. 
  5. To cook, just fry longganisa in oil. 



The recipe is endless as one can tweak the ingredients. One can also opt to have a "healthier" longganisa using all lean meat and no fat.

 But as we all know, a "fatty" longganisa tastes better. I just love it dipped in vinegar or better yet cooked in vinegar until it almost dries up. Enjoy

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube...

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.
