History[edit | edit source]
The history of Chorizo Negrense is deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of the Negros Island. The sausage is believed to have been influenced by the Spanish during their colonization of the Philippines, as chorizo is a common food item in Spanish cuisine. However, the Negrense version has been adapted to local tastes and ingredients.
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
Chorizo Negrense is typically made from ground pork, garlic, sugar, and various spices. The mixture is then stuffed into hog casings and left to cure for several days. The curing process allows the flavors to develop and gives the sausage its characteristic taste. Once cured, the chorizo can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, frying, or boiling.
