Hogshead Cheese
Use the head of hog and or other good pieces of pork meat. If using the head, clean it and
only use parts with meat. Let all of the meat come to a boil and cook until tender on low heat.
Remove and set aside. Remove any fat from boiled meat and remove from water. Grind meat
with onions, celery and bell pepper. Cut up onion tops (green onions) and parsley fine and
mix with meat, onions, celery and bell pepper. Return to cooking pot and add some of the
meat stock. Add whatever seasoning you desire (Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning would be
good) before the second cooking - other seasonings that could be used are salt, pepper, and
garlic or garlic powder. Cook together long enough to cook vegetables. Pour into containers
to mold the hogshead cheese and let congeal. Place in refrigerator to congeal and serve
when hard. This is great warm as a soup before putting in the refrigerator.
