Method
- Grind the onion and mix it with the ground beef, pork, and ham.
- Add the salt, mustard, ground spices, 4 beaten eggs, and 1 cup of crushed crackers or breadcrumbs.
- Knead everything very well and form three rolls.
- Beat the remaining 6 eggs and coat each roll in egg, then in crumbs. Repeat the coating a second time.
- Wrap each roll in a piece of damp cloth, tie each end, and sew the edge of the cloth so it does not open.
- Bring water to a boil with the onion, salt, garlic, bay leaf, whole peppercorns, cumin, and oregano from the broth.
- Place the rolls in the boiling water and let them boil for 2 hours.
- Remove the cloth while they are still hot.
- Let them cool completely and slice each roll into rounds.
