Rice Pudding Cake (Ryžový Nákyp)

Rice Sausage (Jaternica)

Ingredients: 2lbs rice (4.5 coffee mugs or 5.7 cups), 2 small onions, 9 coffee mugs water (~11.5 cups), 1lb pork liver, 2 pork hearts, 1lb pork meat (side cut or shoulder, should be about 50% fatty, you can also use pork skin) Prep Time: about 2 hours Jaternica (also known as hurka) is a special pork sausage prepared during zabíjačka, the traditional annual slaughter of a pig.
