- pepper peas - 5-8 pieces;

Preparation
Brawn at home is traditionally cooked from pork, but there are options, for example, beef or poultry. Carefully, we burn on the open fire the pig's head and legs. Clean with a knife and rinse well with cold water. We will cut it into pieces, fill it with cold water and leave it for 2 hours, then we'll rinse it again.
Prepared in this way the legs and head cook in a large saucepan for 4 hours at the lowest heat, covering the lid. Periodically stir and remove the foam. When you see that the flesh begins to lag behind the bones, we add meat, sliced not too finely, onions (whole), roots and spices. Solim to taste and cook for another 40-60 minutes. Slightly cool and filter the broth, it can be used to make soup.
Separate the meat, lard, cartilage and skins from the bones. Bones, onions, roots, peppers and laurel are thrown away. Grind everything with a knife and fill the cellophane sleeve (you can add not too much broth for even filling), at the edges tie
You can act differently and instead of cellophane use a specially purchased in the market well-cleaned and washed gut-bluish. The recipe for making a brawn does not change. Densely fill the bluetooth stuffing, do not add the broth. Boil the brawn in a saucepan for 40 minutes or bake in the oven, after making several punctures with a toothpick in different places. Cool and place in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours. You can put it under the press. We cut into slices and serve with greens.
