Pork scratching spread according to U Kalendů
A classic that goes well with beer, but also with a wine with higher acidity!
Ingredients:
- 2 kg of pork scratchings
- 1 kg of Prague ham cracklings
- 1½ kg of confit pork belly (can also be roasted pork belly)
- 300 g confit onions
- 5 tablespoons full-fat mustard
- 300 g sour cucumbers, grated
- pickle brine to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Procedure:
- Grind the scratchings and Prague ham, pork belly and onion in a meat grinder.
- Stir in mustard and pickles, season with lime, salt and pepper.
Extra tips:
To create a coarser, more interesting texture, just mash some of the cracklings with a fork. Some recipes also contain lard, which makes spreading easier.
Crackling from Preštice black-pied pigs is available at Naše maso. Sometimes they also have Prague ham crackling or smoked lard.

- 50 g mustard
To serve:
onion and chives, finely chopped (optional)
Procedure:
- Cut the salami into small cubes and finely grind.
- Add the mayonnaise to the resulting paste and mix thoroughly. Pour in the brine and work it in so that there is no liquid component in the spread. Add the mustard and mix thoroughly again.
- Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate, ideally overnight.
- Before serving, stir the mixture and make sure the cucumber sauce does not stick to the bottom of the bowl. Taste the spread and season with pepper and salt if necessary.
