Jinchuan Fragrant Pork Leg

　　Fragrant pork leg is a famous dish in the Jinchuan region, known for its delicious taste, and is a festive delicacy as well as a treat for guests. Every winter, households slaughter plump pigs. In the past, pigs were typically bound at the four legs, a hole was cut in the chest with a knife, and the butcher would reach into the thoracic cavity to sever the connection between the heart and lungs, killing the pig. The incision was then stitched up, and the pig’s hair was repeatedly burned away using dry straw before the carcass was split open and the fat and lean meat separated.
