TRADITIONAL BULGARIAN CUISINE
RECIPE ELENA PORK LEG
elena pork leg
Elena Pork Leg is a meat delicacy prepared from pork meat.
Its name comes from the fact that most suitable for its
preparation are the climatic characteristics of the town of
Elena and the Elena Balkan Mountain.
It is prepared from salted, dried and sometimes smoked pork
leg. There is a tradition in the local villages to slaughter a pig
every Christmas. Both thighs and both shoulders are removed
from the body and used to prepare ham that can be consumed
during the summer.
The meat is salted and left in salt for 40-45 days. Then it’s left
to dry in a ventilated area. In the past, the citizens of Elena left
it to “mature” in a room by the fireplace - this added a specific
flavor of smoked meat to the delicacy.
Once ready, the leg can be cut into smaller pieces and spiced
with savory, pepper, etc. This way the meat lasts longer and
absorbs additional flavors.
