In the old days, peasant families could not afford to eat meat very often. That is why they sought to prepare numerous dishes based on a variety of offal. Such dishes turned out to be very appetizing and nutritious, they were often served even at the festive table.
One of the most popular by-products is rightfully the pork stomach, the nutritional qualities of which are almost in no way inferior to meat. One hundred grams of pork stomach contains approximately 159 calories.
The pork stomach is a muscular organ, which is characterized by a sac-like shape. A huge variety of wonderful meat dishes can be prepared on the basis of the stomach, but it is most suitable for stuffing, acting as a natural edible shell.
Even in ancient times, all Slavic peoples prepared a variety of national dishes based on the pork stomach. Especially for the Christmas festive table, it was customary to cook stuffed pork stomach. Both minced meat and cereal porridges, for example, pearl barley or millet, could be used as a filling.
In Belarus, to this day they cook a dish called Vantrobyanka, and in Ukraine - Kendyukh. In both cases, this dish is a pork stomach, inside of which there is a filling from other offal. In Russia, on the basis of the pork stomach, they like to cook dishes such as saltison and brawn. And in Chuvashia, one of the popular national dishes is Cougar Shyurbi.
Regardless of what dish you are going to cook, the pork stomach must be pre-processed. So, first of all, this offal is thoroughly degreased and completely freed from the contents. After that, it is kept in hot water for ten minutes and the mucous membrane is removed from the stomach. Now, after processing the pork stomach, it is necessary to clean it again and rinse thoroughly.
To make the dish tasty and beautiful, it is important to follow some rules. Due to the fact that any heat treatment leads to a significant compression of the pig's stomach and a significant decrease in its size, it should never be stuffed too tightly. In addition, it is recommended to pre-make several punctures in the offal - so it will not crack during cooking. Fat will flow out during the baking process - this fat should be periodically poured over stuffed pork stomachs. There is another secret. In order for the dish to be covered with a wonderful crispy and ruddy crust, it is necessary to pour pork stomachs with a mixture of sour cream and aromatic spices about five to ten minutes before the end of cooking. And in order to make the finished stomach more convenient and easier to cut, it is recommended to put a special press on top of it. Chilled pork stomachs are served at the table. Due to the content of vitamins E, PP and group B, as well as iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper and other minerals, pork stomach is very good for health.
Offal in terms of nutritional and beneficial properties is in no way inferior to meat. But unfortunately, some housewives are dismissive of such dishes, considering them tasteless and inedible. Most likely, the reason for this is the inability to cook them correctly. We will try to convince you and reveal all the subtleties of the technological process. Today we will fill the pork stomach. Stuffed muscle organ will decorate the Christmas table.
This was revered by the ancient Slavs. It was stuffed with various cereals, minced meat, vegetables and other products. A dish called "Vantrobyanka" is loved to cook in Ukraine. In the Chuvash Republic, culinary specialists make "Kugar Shyurbi" - a national dish with spicy seasonings and melted lard.
Before cooking a stuffed pork stomach, it should be degreased, all contents removed, the protective film removed and kept in warm water. Please note that during heat treatment, the offal is significantly reduced in size, so there should not be a lot of filling, otherwise the organ will simply burst. If all the recommendations are followed, you will get an exquisite meat delicacy that is not ashamed to serve to guests.
Required set of products: tripe, half a glass of boiled buckwheat, two hundred grams of minced meat (any), dried or frozen mushrooms (one hundred grams), two eggs, an onion, two cloves of garlic, 150 ml of sour cream and spices at will (pepper, salt). You will also need threads and a food bag for baking (you can use a film).
Rinse the muscular organ of the animal, cut off the greasy film and put it in slightly salty water for three hours. During this time, we pass the minced meat with onions and mushrooms. When the filling has cooled, squeeze the garlic, beat in the eggs and add seasonings. We fill the scar with the finished mixture (loosely), grab the hole with a thread and transfer it to the bag. Stuffed pork stomach is sent to bake for 40 minutes at 200C. After that, open the package, pour plenty of sour cream or mayonnaise and put it back in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve chilled with pickles and herbs.
The dish is more labor-intensive, but very tasty and tender. We will make it from the following components: a medium-sized pork tripe, pieces of beef meat (two hundred grams), two kidneys, tongue and ears of a pig (1 each). For a refined aroma, you will need fresh carrots, one onion, red and black peppers, garlic salt, and parsley.
Pour two liters of water into a deep container, dissolve in it a large spoonful of salt and vinegar essence. Dip the abomasum into the solution for three hours and the kidneys for an hour. Remove dirt and stubble from the tongue and ears. Boil pork kidneys for an hour. We will do the same with the tongue and ears - they should be boiled in a separate bowl for about 90 minutes with spices and baked vegetables.
Remove the white coating from the tongue, cut into pieces. Ears and kidneys - straws. Cut the beef fillet into neat pieces, season with salt and pepper, combine with offal. Fill the space of the scar with this mass, then lightly “bait” with ordinary threads and set to boil for a couple of hours. Then we spread the stuffed pork stomach with mayonnaise and bake for about an hour. Enjoy your culinary experience!
Absolutely everyone will like the traditional Scottish dish, as it consists of ingredients familiar to us: half a liter of milk, one tripe, two kilograms of potatoes, onions and lard (three hundred grams). Crushed black pepper, bay leaf and salt are used as seasoning. For lovers of spicy, we suggest adding chili or hot peppers.
Similarly to the previous recipes, soak pork abomasum in salt water. Prepare minced vegetables: rub potatoes, remove excess liquid with gauze, add bacon cut into small pieces, fried onions, all spices and pour warm milk. It will turn out not a very thick mass, with which we will fill the gastric space. Let's put it in the oven for two hours.
