Head Cheese Banh Mi.

Today I am making some delicious head cheese or brawn. Which is an old school meat terrine. This dish does not contain any dairy or cheese despite the name. Although this dish was created in Europe around the Middle Ages, it is quite popular in Vietnam as well. You can usually find this in banh mi, the famous Vietnamese sandwich. Which is how I am going to be preparing this. I have a video for the banh mi bread as well as another video where I made the chicken liver pate. You can check out my other videos on ‪@cheftuan‬

Thanks for the video, chef. I have a question. If I wanted to do a smoked head cheese, would smoking the head come before or after the boil? Is the boil necessary? Thanks in advance.

@cheftuan 3 жыл бұрын

I would boil the meat to get the gelatin and collagen in the braising liquid which would eventually be used to set your headcheese. I would smoke the meat after it had been pulled once it cooked. Then put it in the mold and pour the aspic over it to set.

@cheftuan 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching my video. Yes you definitely can mae it those pots. I'd say, full power for about 35-45 minutes or until soft, but NOT fall apart tender. You want the meat to hold its shape. I'd say it keeps for about a week or so. But if you can vacuum seal it in a vacuum bag, it can go for about a month.

You can use pork butt r pork shoulder. Basically anything w the skin and bones because you need the natural gelatin. Then after your meat is cooked to tender, remove the meat amd reduce the cooking liquid to half. Then you'll be ready to for the head cheese.

Thanks followed your recipe and made it today. You can check out my Banh Mi from scratch @asian.munchies on IG. One question for you. So instead of using a whole pork head I used 3 pig ears, 2 pigs tongue and 1 pork hock and cooked it in the Instant Pot. Mean was super tender and a little over cooked TBH to the point where parts of the pigs ear skin were just falling off. Next time I'll reduce the cook time. My problem is that after slicing the terrine it easily fell apart after a few minutes. The broth that held it together melted, I guess not enough collagen. What would you suggest? Add a little bit of gelatin next time? Thanks!

@cheftuan 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome! I'll check it out. It seems like either there wasn't enough collagen in your stock or your stock wasn't concentrated enough. Try reducing your cooking liquid in half or adding more gelatin. A pig head has a lot of collagen and connective tissue. Thats why I don't run into the same issues you did. And cooking in an Instant Pot, you definitely need to check the "doneness" of your pork periodically to check on how tender your pork is. Also, you should let the terrine cool in the refrigerator for at least 12-24 hours before cutting into it. I hope you try this recipe again!

@owenli3257 3 жыл бұрын

@@cheftuan Thanks I will definitely be trying this recipe again. The terrine was my favorite part of the banh mi and yeah I let it chill overnight. Next time will add a little gelatin. :)
