INGREDIENTS
a pig’s head, kidneys and tongue
a joint of beef
water
pepper and salt
METHOD
• Clean the head, remove the eyes and cut off the ears.
• Split into easily managed pieces and stand in brine for three or four days.
• Wash the pieces thoroughly before putting them into a large saucepan, together with the tongue, kidneys and beef joint.
• Boil for three hours or until the meat falls off the bone.
• Lift all the pieces on to a large plate, remove all meat from the bone and place on a large open dish. Using a sharp knife chop finely.
• Season well, mix thoroughly and put in an earthenware dish to cool and set. Alternatively put the mixture in a colander, cover with a plate and press it with a heavy weight to remove excess fat.
• Slice when cold and serve.

Keep the tongue whole after boiling, remove skin and sandwich it between two layers of the seasoned minced meat. Press together and slice when cold.
