Longganisang Tuguegarao is somewhat similar to Vigan longanisa. It is tangy, salty, garlicky, and cooked on its own rendered fat. Other’s may call it Longganisang Ybanag, but base on my research it is more known as Longganisang Tuguegarao. While, locals would even call Tuguegarao as the city of Garlic longganisa.
Other retailers sell it using carabeef or carabao meat, but you can also use pork at your convenience.
It is also good when cooked slightly crunchy. You can cook it by simmering it first in a cup of water. Simmer it, until water dries up and all the fats are rendered. Just let the longganisa cook on it’s own oil.
Langgonisang Tuguegarao is the best tasting langgonisa ever. The thin, silky casing and its juices and flavors will burst in your mouth as you bite it with its garlicky flavor. Yum! Serve your longganisang tuguegarao with pinakurat dipping vinegar! Best with any sinangag and fried egg.
