Pork head saltison in the stomach

Forget about the sausage! An amazing snack - unusual, delicious and satisfying! Saltison or in another way, seltzer is a purely Ukrainian snack, according to the principle of cooking it resembles jelly, only at the outlet without liquid. I've cooked brawn before, because it's very tasty, but I cooked it in a pig's stomach for the first time, having stumbled upon it in a store and digging a little on the Internet. I will say right away - it will take a lot of tinkering, but the result justifies all the efforts expended! That's what happened!

    For the next stage, we will need garlic and a pickled stomach

  19. Step 19:
