Pork head pate

1. Put the head, heart and liver in a large bowl. Fill with cold water, leave to soak overnight. The head should already be chopped into pieces, otherwise it is difficult to find a suitable container for soaking.

2. Then drain the water and fill the head with hot water. Using a knife, we scrape the skin, it should be perfectly clean. To do this, you can use a kitchen sponge, its hard side. Clean parts are washed again under running water, put in a large saucepan. We send it to the fire.

3. Cook on low heat for four hours. Meanwhile, we peel the onions and carrots, wash them. We put the carrots in a saucepan to the pig's head, and cut the onion into large cubes. There is no need to chop carrots, they are added entirely.

4. After the specified time, we spread the pre-washed offal to the head: liver and heart. We also add spices: black and allspice, bay leaf. Do not forget to add salt.

5. Cook until all the ingredients are ready, for about another hour. The head is ready when the meat is easily separated from the bone. We drain the broth, it may be useful for other dishes. And we separate the meat from the bone. The skin, ears, cartilage - all this also goes into business.

6. Fry chopped onion in vegetable oil until soft. Chop pork, heart, liver, carrots and onions with a meat grinder. We try the finished minced meat with salt, if necessary, you can also add salt to taste. The lightly salted pate will be bland, so it is important to find a golden mean here.

7. We lay out the pate in clean half-liter jars. We fill the jars to the hangers, cover them with lids. We put a towel in a large saucepan on the bottom, place cans on it. Pour warm water into the pan so that it reaches the shoulders of the jar. We send it to the fire. Pasteurize for 10-12 minutes from the moment of boiling.

8. We roll up the jars hermetically. One can be left for trial, without this, well, no way. We give the pate to cool completely, after which we transfer it to storage in the cellar.

Have a pleasant tasting and delicious pate!
