Casing for longanisa

Dried longaniza casings are rarely available in the local markets nor in the supermarkets. But, fresh casings (porkV bituka) are plentiful and you can make your own longaniza casi ngs.

Method l- Soak for 1 hour in water with vinegar or lemon juice. (For every 1 liter of water, add 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice.) After soaking, wash. Insert one end on the faucet and let water run into it. If the odor is still strong, repeat the soaking and washing.

Method ll - Invert the casing (use a long piece of stick broom). Then mash the casing with several fresh guava leaves. Wash thoroughly in water. If the odor is still strong, repeat the mashing with guava leaves. Wash. Invert again.

In drying, run the back of a knife on the casing to squeeze out the water.
