CHOPPED YAK EARS
(Recipe is for salted pig’s ears)
Ingredients:
1 lbs. salted pig's ears
2 cups water
±1 cup distilled vinegar
½ cup water in which the salted ears were boiled
2 onions, finely sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely sliced
5-6 whole all spice
10 cloves, whole
1 bay leaf
hot pepper (to taste)
Directions:
Clean the ears and wash them thoroughly. Let them stand in a
lot of water for about an hour. Discard this water and put the ears to boil in
new fresh water. They have to boil until tender. Don't let them become to
tender. Sometimes I cook them in a pressure cooker. As soon as the pressure
cooker starts to sound wait for 10 minutes and turn of the heat immediately.
Take the ears out of the water and let them cool off.
Measure ½ cup of water (or a little more) and put aside. After that we
cut the ears in long pieces but not too wide.
In a large glass bowl (with a lid) we mix water with vinegar, the ½ cup of water in which the ears were cooked, onion, garlic, hot pepper, all spice, cloves and the bay leaf. I personally like to add a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add the ears and mix everything well with plastic spoon.
Cover the bowl and let the preparation stand for 24 hours and then it's ready to serve.
Tip:
You can also mix the water with pure vinegar. Then you can check the amount of
vinegar you wish to add. Add the pure vinegar a little at the time until the
desired taste is reached. In the
