INSTRUCTIONS

Here's a French version from a great cookbook about French farm

cooking, The French Farmhouse Kitchen. The book is clear, concise

and presents recipes that are generally simple but not lacking in

character.

I like it because it presents the cultural background to support the

recipes and gives a feel of the values and day to day lives of the

folks who cook them.

Have the butcher split the head into halves and remove the ears.

Place cut side down in a sieve and pour fast-boiling water over the

skin. Drain and scrape off any blemishes. Peel and finely chop the

shallots.

Peel the carrots and onions and trim the leek, cut them all into

pieces.

Place the pig's head, carrots, onions, leek and peeled garlic in a

large pan, cover generously with cold water and bring slowly to

boiling point over low heat. Skim off the froth that rises and when

clear add the herbs tied together, seasoning and cloves. Cover and

cook, simmering steadily, for 2 hours or until the meat detaches

itself from the bones.

Remove the meat, skin and fat from the bones, Cut into pieces and

place in a large bowl. Add the brains, and the tongue skinned and

cut into small pieces. Mash with a fork and mix well. Test for

seasoning, add black pepper if necessary so that the mixture is well

flavoured. Mix in the chopped shallot and parsley, and stir to

incorporate thoroughly.

Pour into 2 wetted moulds and when cold refrigerate until required.

To serve, cut into slices and arrange on a large serving dish

surrounded by lettuce leaves. Hand French mustard separately and a

mixed green salad tossed in vinaigrette dressing.

Being made of fresh meat this brawn should be eaten within a week.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
