== Description ==
Head cheese. Even though its name suggests otherwise, this has nothing whatsoever to do with cheese. This recipe is a very old traditional recipe and hardly ever made anymore. — CorineJ 12:48, 23 Mar 2006 (PST)
== Ingredients ==
* ¼ pig's head
* ¾ kg pork
* 1½ tbsp salt
* 1 tsp pepper
* ½ tsp ground cloves
* ½ tsp nutmeg
* some gherkins
== Directions ==
# Leave the pig's head in salt water until ready to use, then brush under a lukewarm flowing tap.
# Put in so much water that it is half under, and cook in about 1½ hrs.
# Add the washed meat and leave everything to cook for another hour, so that the head meat is easy to take off the bone and only a little cooking juice is left.
# Take the meat of the bone and mince it together with the pork.
# Add the minced mass to the cooking juice, mix everything with the salt and spiced and add the chopped gherkins.
# Transfer to bowls, cover them with fat free paper and pour some vinegar on.
# Leave to cold and stiff and slice thinly.
# Keeps 1 to 2 weeks.
