- Packaging: Family pack
- Price Range: Approximately £5.50 to £11.99, depending on the retailer
Ingredients:
While specific ingredients for CABALEN’s version are not listed in the available sources, traditional Chorizo de Cebu typically includes:
- Ground lean pork
- Pork fat
- Salt
- Sugar
- Anise liqueur (anisado)
- Paprika
- Black pepper
- Garlic
- Chilis (to taste)
- Achuete seeds (for the distinctive red color)
These ingredients are combined and encased in natural hog casings, resulting in a sausage known for its sweet, savory, smoky, and slightly spicy flavor profile.
Cooking Instructions:
- Pan-Frying: Place the chorizo in a pan with a small amount of water. Cook over medium heat until the water evaporates, allowing the chorizo to release its own oil. Continue cooking until golden brown.
- Grilling: Alternatively, the chorizo can be grilled until it achieves a caramelized exterior.
Traditionally, Chorizo de Cebu is served with white rice, “puso” (hanging rice), or garlic rice, making it a popular breakfast choice.
Storage Recommendations:
- Refrigeration: If not consumed immediately, store the chorizo in the refrigerator and consume within three days.
- Freezing: For extended storage, freeze the chorizo to maintain its quality for up to a month.
Avoid repeated temperature fluctuations, as they can lead to spoilage.
