- Season the remaining raw meats (chicken, pork belly, pork ear, calf's foot) with the rest of the salt.
- Boil the calf's foot and pork ear in a pot filled with water using a pressure cooker to speed up this step.

- Heat the pork lard in a large heavy-bottomed pot, sauté the chopped onion and garlic along with a bay leaf, add the carrots and let it cook gently over low heat.
