Skinless Garlic Longganisa: A Filipino Breakfast Favorite
Skinless Garlic Longganisa, a must-try for those who enjoy a hearty and flavorful breakfast, offers a unique twist to the traditional Filipino favorite. This version, which forgoes the casing, is more convenient to prepare and cook and perfectly balances sweet, garlicky, and savory flavors.
Skinless Longganisa is the best type of traditional Filipino sausage. Typically, it is cooked using ground pork, garlic, and seasonings. Additionally, it doesn't include any preservatives.

To keep its shape, the pork mixture is wrapped in wax paper or plastic film rather than stuffed into hog casings. The flavor of skinless longganisa is usually sweet and garlicky, similar to hamonado, but "hot" versions are also popular and contain a lot of ground pepper.
Its golden brown hue when fried and its irresistible aroma filling the kitchen make it a delightful addition to any breakfast table. The ideal way to have skinless longganisa is with Sinangag or Yang Chow Fried Rice, itlog na maalat or salted egg, sunny side eggs, and papaya Atchara for a satisfying and delicious breakfast. I enjoy dipping it into Sinamak spicy vinegar before eating. Delicious!
How to Best Sell This Longganisa
The potential for profit in selling homemade Skinless Garlic Longganisa is significant, especially when offering fresh, high-quality ingredients. Market it through social media, neighborhood food groups, or weekend food markets.
A well-presented vacuum-sealed packaging with a label listing the ingredients and expiration date makes it more appealing. Offering sampler packs or bundles with different flavors, like spicy or sweet variants, can attract more customers.
Partnering with small restaurants, cafeterias, or online food delivery platforms can boost sales. Word-of-mouth and repeat customers play a huge role in making it a bestseller.
Ingredients and Step by Step Procedure: |
The process for making homemade skinless longganisa is simple and easy. Simply combining all the ingredients and stirring everything together until thoroughly combined is how this recipe instructs you to begin. I advise putting more attention on the quality of the ingredients than the process. Use freshly ground pork that has a high-fat content. Fat is the major ingredients of longganisa in the Philippines. If you can get smoked paprika as well, even better.
Storage Tips to Keep It Fresh
Keeping skinless garlic longganisa fresh ensures excellent taste and quality. Follow these simple storage tips:
- Arrange the shaped longganisa in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray.
- Freeze for an hour to prevent sticking, then transfer to airtight containers or freezer bags.
- Label it with the date for easy tracking, and store it in the freezer for up to two months.
- When ready to cook, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or cook directly from frozen over low heat until fully cooked.
