If you’re looking for a new culinary experience from your favorite meat manufacturer,  try longaniza. Also known as longganisa, this hearty sausage is a favorite in Spain, Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Phillippines. It is similar to chorizo and can be used as either part of a meal or as a snack. Here’s what you should know about this meat and how you can use it. 

How Meat Manufacturers Make Longaniza

Longaniza recipes vary by region, but a common variety is made from pork with sugar, salt, garlic, black pepper, vinegar, sometimes paprika, and varying amounts of red pepper depending on the desired spiciness. The sausages can be smoked, dried, or cured, or they can be made fresh to grill or fry. The result is a flavorful sausage that is moist when cooked.
