1

Soak the 30-32 mm casings in water before starting the preparation.

2

Heat water to 80°C and cook the pork rind for 15-25 minutes until soft, checking by squeezing the skin.

3

Prepare the spice mix: for 2 kg of meat, add 34.5 g of rock salt, 4 g of white pepper, 2 g of mace, 1 g of coriander, 1 g of ginger, and 10 g of baking powder.

4

Chop 40 g of onion and wash 20 g of parsley, trimming off the stalks.

5

Grate lemon zest to get 20 g for the mixture.

6

Once the rind is soft, remove it from the water and let it cool slightly before mincing it through a 4 mm plate.

7

Place the minced rind in the fridge to cool completely for about 30 minutes to 1 hour before proceeding with the sausage preparation.
