Ukrainian pork head seltz

12 servings
1 days 12 hours

Chop the pig's head into pieces, wash well, soak overnight. At this stage, my husband helped me)

In the morning, rinse parts of the pig's head well in several waters and clean

Fill with cold water and set to cook for 6 hours

But do not forget to remove foam

2-3 hours before the meat is ready, add onions, carrots, bay leaves, peppercorns and allspice

Salt a lot - you need to slightly salt so that the boiled meat is not fresh

After 6 hours, the meat is ready!

Take the boiled pieces of the head from the broth and leave to cool. Boiled chicken can be added to the broth and you get a wonderful low-fat jelly, or you can, for example, cook boiling borscht

Separate meat from bones

Separate the meat and lard from the skin and cut into medium pieces. The photo shows pieces of boiled meat, lard and pork ear

Peel garlic

Extrude through the press

Sprinkle with black ground pepper and mix

Put on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 200 degrees 15 minutes

After 15 minutes, we take it out and let it cool a little

To shape the potion, I will use a cropped plastic bottle, and so that I can easily get it - I put the bag inside. You can take a milk bag or a special round ham - how convenient you are

Well packed

We put under the press for the night

In the morning, you can try a ready-made potion, or you can wait for the arrival of your favorite friends!

Enjoy your meal!
