Homemade sausage (Filipino Longganisa)

I love longganisa, it’s sweet garlicky aroma is the perfect match for the fried rice on your breakfast table. I can find longganisa in the supermarket but the fun of making it yourself is another level, having achieved something. Also you can adjust the recipe to your liking, as for me a like with sweeter and loads of garlic. Also in general, homemade products is healthier than commercially manufactured, you can avoid yourself from artificial additives that will harm your health in the long run.

I also used dried soy chunks, an extender, as well as it helps the meat sausage and burger patties not to shrink. It is commonly used in many commercial meat products. Beef fats had been added to give moist and tenderness on the sausage or patties.

You can also change the flavor of the sausage by replacing the spices I used. You can use cumin powder, cinnamon powder, chili powder, onion and garlic powder, black pepper and other spices you prefer.
