Pork Head Cheese (Bottle Sausage)

Chop the pork shanks with a cleaver so that you end up with pieces that will fit comfortably in a pot.

After that, cover the meat with water and let it sit like that for one hour.

An hour later, change the water in the pot.

Also add salt, peppercorns, bay leaf, and a whole onion to it.

Put all of this on low heat.

Simmer the meat for 3.5-4 hours.

Once done, remove the future head cheese from the broth and let it cool.

Next, remove the bones and split the large pieces in half.

Place the separated boneless meat in a deep bowl, followed by the garlic and about one ladle of broth.

Mix the contents of the bowl thoroughly, then carefully transfer them into a plastic bottle with the neck cut off.
