During these times when I’m in the process of putting-this-life-back-together-despite-unemployment, I noticed that selling food online is continuously growing. Seeing photos of home-cooked meals through my newsfeed is not just making me hungry, but it also gives me ideas on how to start a home-based food business.
It requires a lot of research and planning for sure but I’m still deciding on what kind of food to sell and how. I’m thinking of something that’s easy to get the ingredients, easy to handle, and doesn’t spoil easily. Chorizo is one of the best candidates to consider.
Until Klim’s Chorizo started as a business and currently publishing food posts related to chorizo. I told myself that this food looks delicious and versatile even though I don’t really adore the usual Pinoy pork longganisa.
Then I searched for the recipe and stumbled upon revitenkitchen.com’s Chorizo Pudpud, a Bacolod-inspired skinless longganisa. The blog says the goal of cooking this recipe is to make the pork's flavor garlicky and not too sweet. Three other things I learned from this recipe:
1. Colorless, casing-free with all-natural ingredients, unlike the usual Pinoy longganisa.
2. Pretty good though it’s not the traditional recipe.
3. The easiest longganisa you can make at home.
Just like what my momma said, “if you can’t afford it, cook it at home and you’ll stop the cravings.” I’m impressed at how this recipe has turned out for the first time. I put in less sugar, 3 tbsp instead of 5 tbsp or more from revitenkitchen.com’s recipe, as I don’t want it too sweet. Then you just need to put in exact measurements of other spices and it's easy to enjoy your Bacolod chorizo at home.
Ingredients
1 kg /1000 grams ground pork (preferably not lean but with fat)
1 whole minced garlic
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon sweet or smoked paprika
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons ground black pepper
Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Stir until completely dissolved. Add ground pork and mix well until combined.
2. Transfer the mixture in a large resealable bag or sealed container and let it marinate in the fridge for 6 to 24 hours or freeze until needed.
3. Add oil in a pan over medium heat. The oil should just be warm enough to sizzle the meat but not too hot. Stir occasionally and fry until lightly brown to lightly toasted.
4. Served hot with fried rice, eggs, and vinegar dipping sauce.
Google says there are plenty of dishes you can make from chorizo. I already made chorizo fried rice and some easy chorizo vegetable dishes and there are more ways to use your chorizo. It can be a breakfast bowl, omelet, chowder, burger, nachos, pizza, maki, sandwiches, tortillas, meatballs, soups, croquettes, pasta, and more.
You just need to be creative to reproduce chorizo into a variety of dishes. You will surely love this recipe -- it’s easy and extremely versatile.
