Step by Step guide

Step 1

Carefully remove the skin from the head in one piece.

Step 2

You can remove the lower jaw and carefully cut off the nose to save space and avoid small bones. Pre-cut all edible parts.

Step 3

Boil the head and all the edible parts (except the skin) with roots, bay leaf, and salt for 3 hours after boiling, then cool in the broth. Remove bones and cartilage.

Step 4

Chop the meat, sprinkling it with chopped onion, salt, pepper, crushed cloves, and garlic. Roll it up in the skin, tying it with twine every 5 cm to form a thick loaf. It's better to use less fat; I use 10% of the meat's weight.

Step 5

Place in boiling broth from the head for 2 hours and let it cool in it. After removing, place it under a weight in a cool place overnight. Store in the refrigerator. Serve cold, slicing into 1 cm pieces.
