Piglet is a traditional Russian Christmas dish. Its tender, delicious taste goes perfectly with any garnish and dressing. This dish may make some of you unhappy, but it is a real dish that is served in many a Russian home. In America Hogs are roasted in the ground and most people who eat it never see the whole pig. This is a little pig and it is delicious…
Be a Russian this holiday, have a piglet for Christmas…
Ingredients:
1 piglet – you can buy them cleaned and ready to cook
1/4 cup water
rock salt
melted butter
sour cream
Method:
Scald the piglet in boiling water and dry with paper towels (seals the juices in), rub the inside with salt and put on the baking sheet, belly down and backside up. Brush the sides with sour cream, pour over melted butter, pour water on the sheet and bake in a preheated oven with a average temperature (250 to 300 F.) for 1.5 to 2 hours or until done. To have golden skin, pour over the piglet the au ju sauce from the sheet pan within regular intervals (Like you would do a turkey.) Serve on a large dish, with plenty of garnishment… (Kale. lettuce, cabbage leaves, flowers, grasses, berries, and or anything!)
