Chorizo or sausage is a term encompassing several types of pork sausage originating from Iberian Peninsula. Spanish chorizo is made from coarsely chopped fatty pork (70% lean and 30% fat) usually seasoned with chili, paprika and garlic. The mild Spanish paprika gives this sausage a characteristic flavor. This can be served with fried eggs and fried rice and “atsara”, a special “longsilog” dish which is good for business. One kilogram will yield 20 serving portions of longsilog. One serving of longsilog could be sold at P30.00 – 35.00 per piece. Gross Sale ranges form P600.00 – P700.oo per kilogram. Fifty 50% is allocated for the cost of rice, eggs and atsara. Gross sales of P 600.00 will have a profit of P300.00.
