The Diary Game. 29 AUG 2020: HOMEMADE LONGGANISA

Hubby has been craving for longganisa since last week. I told him I'd check Filmart, the one stop Filipino store here.

I know what kind of longganisa he likes. The sweet kind. Unfortunately Filmart had only Vigan longganisa, the salty kind. But I still bought it.

It was good but we were not satisfied. So I thought I would just make our own longganisa.

Yesterday I bought a ground pork at the supermarket. Here are my ingredients for longganisa:

Ground pork
Pepper
Garlic chopped
Salt
Sugar
Ketchup
Ground all spice
Lime juice
A dash of magic sarap

I would never make a good chef because I don't measure my ingredients, LOL! This is my first time to make longganisa and I should have measured the ingredients but ever since I started cooking I never measure anything. I think it works because while cooking I can taste it and then add more ingredients according to my taste. But I don't think this would work in baking, right?

Since I don't have a proper wrapper, I just used whatever I have at home - a foil. Before I wrapped it with foil, I cooked a small amount first to check if I have my desired taste.

And luckily, I got it the first time. Hubby said it's yummy. LOL!

We had this and a sunny side up egg for breakfast. Opppss...there goes my promise to start a colon cleanse today. I will just start again tomorrow.

Anyway, I can honestly say my longganisa is not bad. But I think what it needs is a little more fat to make it a little softer. The ground pork I bought was mostly lean meat. So next time I know what to put in more.

I miss my mother. She used to make longganisa too.
