Ingredients

2 pounds Dominican longaniza [0.9 kilograms]
1½ cup vegetable oil [355 ml]

Instructions

1. Cut

Cut the longaniza into 1½ -inch pieces [7 centimeters].
Pat dry with a paper towel, this will help reduce oil splatter when you fry it.

2. Fry

Heat the oil in a small saucepan (so the oil level is higher) over medium-high heat (about 375 ºF [190 ºC].
Fry the longaniza until golden brown, about 4 minutes for cured longaniza, 8-10 minutes for raw longaniza, rotating to cook both sides equally.

3. Serve

As you fry them, let them rest on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
Once fried, serve them with tostones and lime. See links to the tostones recipe and serving suggestions above the recipe.
