Deliciously Stuffed Pork Belly: A Flavorful Sausage Alternative

An unusual but very tasty snack. Great alternative to sausage! Since ancient times in Rusʼ, offal occupied a place of honor in the diet of peasants; among them, the stomach was of particular value — it was stuffed and served as a festive dish, because it turned out beautiful and satisfying. What else is needed? There are many filling options — blood with buckwheat, with liver, with meat. I offer a filling option that everyone will like.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
We start preparing in the evening. My pork belly was frozen; I bought it at a meat processing plant. It should be defrosted

Step 2

Step 2
Then rinse thoroughly and soak in water overnight

Step 3

Step 3
In the morning, rinse well several more times. Now comes the hardest part of this recipe — you need to remove the layer of mucus. I hooked it at the edge and gradually, trying not to tear it, pulled it. This layer turned out to be quite thick — as thick as the stomach itself. The process reminded me of skinning)

Step 4

Step 4
This photo clearly shows the part with that same mucus

Step 5

Step 5
This is what it looks like when cleaned. The photo shows that it was cut — they treated it so cruelly at the meat processing plant, apparently they didn’t intend to stuff it) I discovered this when my stomach had already defrosted and it was too late to retreat. But there’s nothing wrong with that — it can be successfully sewn up

Step 6

Step 6
Now let’s leave it in water with the addition of vinegar and bay leaf for 2 hours, maybe longer, this will help completely get rid of the characteristic odor

Step 7

Step 7
While the stomach is marinating, letʼs prepare the necessary ingredients for the filling: boil the tongue, place under cold water for a couple of minutes and peel off the skin, boil the potatoes, peel and wash the onion, twist the minced meat

Step 8

Step 8
After 2 hours, we take out the stomach, turn it inside out so that the fat layer remains inside and sew it up with strong threads, leaving only a hole for stuffing

Step 9

Step 9
Prepare the filling: finely chop the onion

Step 10

Step 10
Fry in a heated frying pan with vegetable oil until golden brown.

Step 11

Step 11
Cut the tongue into cubes

Step 12

Step 12
Finely chop the lard

Step 13

Step 13
Chicken fillet — cubes

Step 14

Step 14
Boiled potatoes — cubes

Step 15

Step 15
Now combine everything, salt and pepper

Step 16

Step 16
Add fried onions, eggs

Step 17

Step 17
Manka — it will perfectly bind all the ingredients

Step 18

Step 18
To stir thoroughly

Step 19

Step 19
Now we stuff the stomach and sew it up! It is necessary to fill the stomach not tightly; during the cooking process it significantly decreases in volume and this must be taken into account. At this stage, I made a mistake — well, it’s not every day that I stuff stomachs) I stuffed it tightly, not expecting a catch!

Step 20

Step 20
Let it cook for 2 hours, add salt and peppercorns to the water, add salt. After 30 minutes a surprise awaited me — my stomach burst and part of the filling fell out. But I got out of the situation — I took everything out of the broth and wrapped it in cling film and finished cooking it like that

Step 21

Step 21
So he got cooked. The photo shows that it has significantly decreased in size, but fortunately this did not affect the taste in any way. We ate the filling separately, it was also very tasty.

Step 22

Step 22
Place under a press in a cool place for several hours

Step 23

Step 23
The stuffed stomach is ready to eat!

Step 24

Step 24
Slice and enjoy! Itʼs very, very tasty and honestly worth your time!!!
