Osban (usban)

Instructions

1. Rinse the intestine in cold water, then soak it in vinegared water to clean it and make it pliable.
2. In a skillet with the oil, cook the sliced onion and chopped garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the ground meat, spices and tomato paste, then cook for 8 minutes, stirring, until the meat is browned.
4. Stir in the raw rice, parsley and a little water to moisten the mixture well, then let it cool.
5. Fill the intestine with the stuffing using a funnel, leaving room for the rice to swell, then tie both ends with kitchen string.
6. Prick the sausage lightly in several places with a fork to keep it from bursting, then drop it into a large pot of simmering water.
7. Cook over low heat for 50 minutes, keeping the water at a gentle simmer, until the rice is tender and the skin is firm.
8. Drain the sausage, let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into thick slices to serve warm.
