Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 6 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Annatto powder (optional for color)
• 0 as needed Sausage casing (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with minced garlic, white vinegar, soy sauce, erythritol, salt, black pepper, paprika, and annatto powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 2

For optimal flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least two hours or overnight to marinate.

Step 3

If using sausage casings, rinse them under cold running water to remove salt. Then, stuff the pork mixture into the casings and tie them into links, typically 4-5 inches long. Alternatively, you can shape the mixture into small patties without casing.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the longganisa to the skillet and cook them for about 10 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned and cooked through. If using patties, flatten them slightly as they cook.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove them from the pan and let them rest for a minute before serving.

Step 7

Serve the low-carb pork longganisa hot, paired with cauliflower rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete low-carb meal.
