Sprinkle the table with flour and put the dough on it, which we knead until smooth and elastic. Then we roll the ball from the dough, cover it with a towel and give it a little rest, laying it aside for now.
- We begin to prepare the filling. In slightly salted water, boil the rice until almost ready for 10 minutes, transfer it first to a sieve, and then send it to a bowl. Peel the onion, cut into small cubes and simmer in a pan over low heat until half cooked, adding a couple of tablespoons of sunflower oil. No need to fry the onions!
- A piece of pork (preferably fatter so that the meat does not turn out dry as a result), rinse, dry with a paper towel and cut into small pieces.

- Excess pieces of dough can be removed with a knife. Lubricate the upper surface of the cake with beaten egg yolk and milk.
- In the oven preheated to 180-200 degrees, put the resulting cake and bake for 50-60 minutes, not forgetting to check its readiness from time to time.
- We take out the finished dish from the oven, let it cool slightly, remove it from the baking dish, put it on the dish and serve it on the table.
