The Breakfast Book
Ingredients
Directions
Tie the pork head tightly in a cloth.
Simmer it for six hours in a broth made with bones and savory herbs.
Let it cool in the broth.
Remove the cloth and serve the head on a white napkin in the dish.
Garnish with branches of holly, bay, and other herbs.
Try to keep the head in its original form.
