Remove pork head, rinse and put aside until beef is finished. Then add pork head and backbone to the beef. Cook until done. Meanwhile, peel vegetables, cut into long strips. Using 2 coups of the meat broth, cook vegetables. Add saffron, celery and parsley leaves. Make a dough with flour and egg; roll it as thin as possible.
