Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 5 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Annatto powder
- 2 tablespoons Vinegar
- 1 package Gluten-free sausage casing or parchment paper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, annatto powder, and vinegar.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated. It's best to use your hands to ensure even distribution of spices and flavors.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
If using gluten-free casings, prepare them according to package instructions. Alternatively, prepare parchment paper by cutting it into rectangular sheets, approximately the size of a standard letter envelope.
Using a spoon or your hands, portion about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture and shape them into a log or sausage form.
Carefully stuff the sausage into the casing or place it on a cut piece of parchment paper and roll it tightly, securing the ends by twisting them or tie with a kitchen string.
Continue until all of the pork mixture is used up.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little water (about 1/2 cup) to cover the bottom, then add the rolled sausages.
Cover the pan and let the sausages steam in the water for about 10-12 minutes, ensuring that they are cooked through.
Once the water has evaporated, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan.
Fry the sausages, turning occasionally, until they are browned and caramelized on all sides.
Remove from pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving hot. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free longganisa with some garlic-fried rice and sunny-side-up eggs!
