Pork Head Under Press
Description
The appetizer is prepared quickly and easily. Step 1. First, you need to clean the pig’s head very thoroughly. Singe it to remove any remaining hairs. Pour water into a large pot and a bucket and place the head there for 10–15 minutes. Then drain the water. Repeat this 3 times. Step 2. Now you need to boil the head. Add bay leaves and whole black pepper to the pot. Boil the head for about four hours. Then let it cool slightly. The broth can later be used for aspic. Step 3. Try to cut off fairly large intact pieces of skin from the head. The salsison will be wrapped in them. Cut off the skin, taking a small layer of fat with it. Step 4. Take a piece of gauze or clean cloth and lay the skin on it with the fatty side up. Then start cutting pieces of meat from the head and mixing them with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Place the meat onto the skin. Step 5. Now you need to roll the skin with the meat into a tight roll and wrap it in the cloth. To keep the roll from coming apart, tie it with thread or twine. Put the roll under a weight and place it in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning it will be ready to eat. Serve the appetizer at the table.
