Step:

  1. Wash the intestines thoroughly.

  2. Wash the pluck thoroughly, blanch it, discard the extra fat and cut it into pieces, about  2x2 or slightly larger.

  3. Boil the pork for a while and cut it into small pieces, as well. (If you have ready homemade kavourma just cut it into small pieces).

  4. Put all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix well, adding water so that you have a relatively runny filling and using a funnel fill the intestines one by one tying the ends with string.

  5. Place the intestines cyclically into a large pot and boil in slightly salted water that covers them well, for about 5-6 hours over low heat, making holes in the intestines using a toothpick (after they have boiled for a couple of minutes) so that they don't burst and let out the filling into the pot.
