Preparation method:
For the filling: Brown the finely sliced onion and crushed cloves of garlic (they will be removed) in the lard and a little oil. Add the fresh diced meat and brown over a lively heat. Add a pinch of salt, the cloves and cinnamon wrapped in a cloth bag (to be thrown away after the dish is cooked). Pour in a little broth, cover and cook over a low heat for about 1½ hours. Cool the cooked meat and mince with the cold cuts. Add the eggs, plenty of grated cheese and a pinch of nutmeg.
