1
Prepare the Pig's Head
Season the cleaned pig's head generously with salt and black pepper. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
2
Cook the Pig's Head
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pig's head and sear it on all sides until golden brown. Add water to cover the head and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 4-5 hours until the meat is tender.
3
Prepare the Toast
While the pig's head is cooking, toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crispy.
4
Shred the Meat
Once the pig's head is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat off the bones using two forks.
5
Assemble the Dish
Place the toasted bread on a serving platter. Top each slice with shredded pig's head meat, drizzle with Blacklock gravy, and garnish with pickled chillies.
6
Serve
Serve immediately while hot, allowing guests to enjoy the rich flavors of the pig's head on toast.
