Homemade sweet and garlicky SKINLESS PORK LONGGANISA. One of the best Filipino breakfasts you’ll ever try. Savory, garlicky, and a little sweet. It tastes a lot better than store-bought and it’s so easy to make.

Instructions

In a bowl, combine ground pork (1 lb), salt (2 tsp), pepper (1 tsp), paprika (1 Tbsp), cornstarch (1 Tbsp), brown sugar (½ cup), and garlic (8 cloves). Mix thoroughly and set aside.
Lay a plastic wrap on a flat surface. Spoon over 1/3 cup of the meat mixture, spread with fingers, roll, and twist the ends tightly.
I was able to make 8 pieces.
Store in the freezer until ready to use or in the fridge for at least an hour before cooking
Heat saute' pan over low heat, add 2 tbsp cooking oil (2 Tbsp), sear the longganisa for 1 minute on each side.
Add a little water, cover and let it steam on low heat for a couple of minutes until meat is cooked through.
The lonnganisa should be brown and caramelized. Serve with garlic fried rice and enjoy!

Notes

Fat is flavor, so make sure the ground pork has at least 20% fat.
Paprika gives a nice orange color that longganisa has. Use can use Annato powder, too.
You have control over how much sugar and garlic you wanna put.
