Method
- Boil the pigs head, the meat off of the head in water, black pepper and bay leaves until tender, approximately 1 hour
- Boil the livers in water for about 20 minutes along with the brains. Strain, then set aside to cool
- Make the sauce by mixing the chilli, 1tablspoon f the chopped onion, vinegar and soy and seasoning with salt and black pepper, balancing with the sugar
- Once the meat is tender strain the meat until dry then BBQ or grill it along with the pigs head and livers. Grill them until the livers are evenly browned and the pig meat crackles on the skin side and browns lightly on the meat side. Smokey flavour is the key with out burning
- Allow the mat to cool slightly so you can handle it, and pick the meat off the bone. Leave the eye
- Finely chop the meat into small bits, leaving small chunks
- Place the chopped meat into a bowl ad add the remaining onions and mix through with your hands
- Do the same with the remaining chillies
- Add the sauce and mix through thoroughly
10. Add the brain by crumbling it into the mixture, breaking it into small pieces
11. Heat up a heavy based pan until it smokes slightly then add the pork meat mixture
