More ways to cook Longganisa

Aside from what I have mentioned in my previous entry on Longganisa, the following are other excellent ways to enjoy this sausage.

Longganisa Pakbet

Longganisa Pakbet is easy, it’s the same ingredients as of the Pakbet, except for the pork cubes.

Ingredients:

½ k. eggplant (the round, green variety is best suited for this dish), quartered

4 pieces small bitter gurd/bitter lemon (ampalaya), sliced into wedges, remove the seeds

5 pieces tomatoes, sliced

1 tsp crushed ginger

4 pieces sweet potato, sliced into small cubes

1 onion, sliced

Okra (optional),

6-8 pieces longganisa (it could be lesser or more, depends upon you)

2 tbsp fish sauce (you can add more according to your taste) or salt about 1 -2 tbsp

How to cook:

1. Boil the longganisa in ½ cup of water until dry and its oil comes out. Brown the longganisa (using its own oil). Remove from heat.

2. Remove the oil, then add in the ginger, (add the ingredients in layers), onions, sweet potatoes, tomatoes,eggplant, okra, and last the bitter gurd.

3. Mix the fish sauce in 1 and ½ cup of water, and then add in with the rest of the ingredients.
