Cut the meat into cubes or thin strips and mince ensuring the Lean Pork and Belly Pork are well mixed.
Then add the seasonings & mix well. Add the water gradually and mix thoroughly into the meat. Finally add the rusk & again mix .
At this point you can fill directly into the casings…..or alternatively put through the mincer a second time. This really mixes all the products together & produces a slightly thinner chop. Use a coarse plate (8mm or10mm ) if you want the texture to remain fairly coarse.
