Season with salt, pepper and allspice. Mix thoroughly.

Shape the stuffing into balls of about 6 cm, then surround each with a thin slice of ventrèche. Hold them closed with a string.

Heat the oil in a skillet. Brown the meatballs in it for 10 to 12 minutes, turning them gently so that the belly is evenly browned.
