Steps:

• Total boiling time approximately 90 minutes. Bring the meat to boil in the water, skim off the foam. Add the spices and one quartered onion, cover and let it simmer for 60 minutes. Remove the meat from the bones and set it aside, return the bones to the water and continue simmering for another 20 minutes. Strain the resulting buillion and set aside while grinding the meat.
