Instructions
- Prepare the Pig's Head: Hold the pig's head from the back and carefully submerge it in boiling oil, rolling it around to evenly crisp the skin.
- Deep Fry: Deep fry the pig's head until the skin puffs up and becomes crispy, similar to pork scratchings.
- Oven Finish: Gently heat the pig's head through in the oven to keep it moist inside.
- Prepare Accompaniments: Wilt down greens in confit garlic. Prepare apple gel, crispy sage, and bacon bar sauce with bacon trimmings, shallot, lemon, and fresh herbs.
- Serve: Place the soft meat from the pig's head on top of the greens, season generously, and add clams of apple gel, crispy sage, and bacon bar sauce. Finally, crack through the skin with a knife to serve.
