I am originally from Vienna Austria and "Sulz" or as Americans call it: Head Cheese...(a not so tasty title) was one of my favorite foods when growing up. Years later when I settled in Santa Barbara I made a few batches of "Sulz". My bride, although brought up in a Mexican household almost gagged when I brought home a huge Pigs head...but my Mexican friends all loved it. In Europe we ate it sliced cold with a sprinkling of vinegar and chopped onion. You really need to boil it for a long time to get all the gelatin out of the bones. I usually decorated the top of the forms with sliced eggs and pickles. Chicken also makes a delicious "Sulz", although it takes forever to get all the small bones out. I personally didn't clarify and strain the stock, but I will try this method from now on. A wonderfully done video...much appreciated1!
My dad made this for us 60 years ago... and now my friends are also making it. Using ALL the animal honours the animal... and the sacrifice. In our world of plasticized meat (and everything), many tend to forget where and how their meal began. Excellent videos Steve. Thank you from Lively, Ontario, Canada.
Thank you Garth, we kept our own Pigs on our small farm and know the importance of using every part in respect of the animals life, as we say, every part except the Oink 🐽
Im from New Zealand all us kiwis love brawn
My parents introduced me to a variety of food. They being both born and raised in the southern part of the United States cause me to fall in love with vast various food. Me being a strong city kid new nothing but play ball in the streets on in my back yard.
This recipe made in the city used pig feet and ears. Pig head is not easy to find living on 4 miles from the white house. We add a few more spices but everything else is about spot on. Thank you so much for bringing back a part of my childhood. 😎🤗🤗😎
You are always welcome Eric.. Great to see you on the older videos..
One of my most favorite foods.....I love collagen foods, they are what I grew up with. thanks for showing how simple this is to make!
You're Welcome
Kia Ora,
Great....thank you so much for sharing; will get to & make some Brawn, too👍.. Yum😋....I love Brawn😊🤗Much appreciated. Auckland, NZ.
This video is a gem. Thank you!
Just watching Come dine with me and they mentioned pigs head.
Brought me back to here. Going to make it today lol
My grandmothers and mother would make head cheese from an old family recipe. It takes time to make a good head cheese. I like the idea with the vegetable and egg mixture.
Thank you Vivian.
My Hungarian grandmother made this to die for. She also shared the secret of always adding the chicken head and feet to soup for flavor and pull it out at the end. Also made the best jellied pigs feet, they were a pickled jellied hybrid. I didn’t know noodles came in a box at the store until after she passed. Never saw a box in the house. Never saw a pre-made pie shell either. I constantly got in trouble for pulling drying noodles off the chair. Thanks for reviving these things. Run the knife under hot water to cut. Just eat cubes of it with an olive on top
Nice to know my Hungarian grandmother used to always eat chickens feet and heads👍👍🇬🇧
I`m from Costa Rica, Centroamerica. Thank you for your kindness. It was a great recipe and something new.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Aaawww...this brings back so many memories. My granny was a real "boere tannie" In SA, and she used to make this for us when we were small. It's some of the best-tasting food I've ever had, and we used to eat it just like that in slices. Thanks for the video. I definitely will try this for myself
My 4th make. Yum yum. The best brawn ever ❤️😊
very well explained! I am in the middle of the process and this helps me understand the technique, the tools, the process and ...now I am going to put on my jimjams and give it a go!
Enjoy and good luck.. 😊
@@Steve-Owens Thanks, it is something I have been looking forward to doing for quite a long time. I am really quite excited about the whole thing. First attempt is going to be like exploring a whole world of new culinary skills. If I end up with something which is also edible, that would be an extra bonus.
My mother really enjoyed making this cheese
Aww. My Mom made this all the time. She LOVED it. Ate it cold all by herself. lol. We would have nothing to do with it. lol. We would go screaming from the kitchen. She said good. My favorite. Hahahaha. Thanks for the memory.
I enjoy eating, I knew how to make it before this video. But have refined the process for me. Thank you very much.
You're welcome Mika.
My Dad always made this,never learned how until now,thank you.
You're welcome
Hello from here in the states Southeast, Alabama. I understand this is a very old video. I was very impressed with the technique that you shared with us on how you cleared the stock. Here in the states I am a backwoods hillbilly Country Boy.I have grown up watching people make this recipe in their backyards after a hog killing. I have to tell you your technique of clearing the stock I have never seen before. I will be trying that idea with my next cooking of hog head cheese as we Barbarian country folks in the Backwoods call it. we use the same ingredients that you did with just a touch of apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas I think this will make me a better cook. wow that clearing of the stock using the egg was the most impressive thing that I have ever seen in a long time. I cannot wait for our next outdoor cooking to show this technique to everyone.
Thanks Jimmie, glad you liked it. Always happy to share. Have a great week, all the best from Oz
Jimmie Rhoden Here in Louisiana we make it and instead of vinegar we use a Louisiana style hot sauce. It has vinegar in it.
YOU GOT ANY GOOD RECIPES FOR ALABAMA WHITE BBQ SAUCE?
Tito Torres any excuse to get some of that LHS into your food 🤣 My mate is from Louisiana. He’s always making jerky, and his sauces would blow the arse off Satan himself.
I thought I heard you say I'm going to use a bit muslim??
Material....It's pronounced mus lin.....muslin
yes we are really enjoyed your show. very good n easy to follow. thanks very much for your brawn recipe
I did see your show about street food in Hanoi Vietnam.
I am glad you enjoy my country. I will see Hanoi 1 day that I am come from south of Vietnam. thanks very much Steve xxoo
my mum and granny used to make this in a basin... then make pea and ham soup with the stock.... can small it now... gorgeous rib sticker food recipes...
grumpy poo Ohhhh! I can smell that now, pickled pigs trotters and thick Pea and ham soup mmmm! Happy days indeed GP :o)
Steve
I could smell my nan’s kitchen watching this
Happy days :o)
My dad used to make head cheese when I was a child. I loved it every time. His was so good. He used a meat grinder to make the meat even more fine. But it was great stuff. I'd have a slice on my mum's home made white bread with a little salt & pepper and butter. Man, that was heaven.
Happy days. Thanks for sharing, I've missed you ☺Have a lovely day
Steve
Thanks for that Steve. have a great day yourself. :)
Audience, he did a great presentation...Thumbs up Sir!!!!
I've been eating this all my life.I had no idea how easy it is to make.Thanks Steve....
Excellent video. Thank you!!

lol I thought yoooou was in a hurray
You can pay me now! I-I-it’s a good picture!
😂😂
My Scottish Grannie used to make this ! Served cold with Homemade Pickle.. Wonderful 😀
:o) Thanks
Hi Steve. Im retired now and can try lots of new stuff in cooking and baking. My half pigs head is on the counter. Thank you
Enjoy your retirement Mabel.. 👍
Awesome video. I grew up eating head cheese.
Great instructional video!
I am Polish, this is the best recipe I have seen... Thank you so much. I have one going now... You are so great... looking for more "something special" from you
thank you for your heart, it gave me courage to undertake something special and that involves more than two steps.
I wanted to tell you my own outcome of Brawn came out delicious... it was firm, did not fall apart.
I had mine with vinegrette once, and the other time with wine vinegar. tasted great, a good half meal in the middle of the day with a glass of home made elderberry wine my husband made.
Thank you for giving me the courage to undertake an adventure...
Mmmm.. a nice thick slice of brawn, some baby spinach and a slice of cheese makes the best toasted sandwiches. So melty, meaty and delicious.
Fantastic I have made this a couple of times Well done
Glad you liked it 👍
As a korean I always enjoying traditional pig's head meat soup.
So I know the rich flavor of head meat.
It looks delicious and tender!
Steve thank you for wonderful posting :)
byeong-wook woo Yes, the head meat has such rich flavours indeed, I love the Gaunciale/Bacon I made with it, it is truly the most delicious cut, so glad you approve :)
Steve
Just harvested a couple pigs. Looking forward to making some Brawn (head cheese). Thank for the video.
Awesome. Details were supurb making some tonight xx
Outstanding massive help. Iv never done it before but going to prepare for this. And attempt it. Mmm that stock. When my step dad did it it was much darker put in a Bason, farm home cured. Thanks very much.🫡👍🏼

FitAnge S So glad to trigger that Memory Angie, sounds like your folks really appreciated good food, see that's where you get it from, thank to the folks XX
Steve
Many years ago, my first husband wanted to try the country life, and brought home a hog’s head and presented me with a recipe for head cheese. The first line read, Take out the eyes, and dammit, I tried. I never got to the scraping the hairs off and chopping it in two with an ax. I gave that hog’s head to an old country lady more experienced in these matters who made about 10 pounds of head cheese for herself and gave some to my husband, who liked it fried. It was full of gristle though and I couldn’t even eat it after spending all that time trying to cut its eyes out. Yours looks a lot nicer.
Thanks Julia.. You get to choose what goes in.. :o)
david cameron will love this recipe.
+nick edwards :)
My mum used to make this when I was a child. I think she put garlic in it as well. Thanks for another great video Steve.......
jojo scogs Thanks Miss scogsable, Garlic would work but it can overwhelm the subtler flavours, I have tried both and they are all good :o)
Steve
pink floyd is bae
I was happy to find this video on head cheese. My parents and Grandparents used to make this like 50 year's ago. I was pretty sure how to proceed to make it but was happy to find your method. Most of what I have seen put up here on you tube has been called head cheese but never had a head to be seen during the making!
I just had a Mangalitsa processed and the butcher was thrilled to have someone ask for all the extras that most don't even want to see! The head is frozen but I will be thawing soon to make my head cheese! The trotters will not be going into the head cheese as they (3 at least, one is still attached to the ham destined to become prosciutto!) will become pickled pig's feet! Another something I haven't had for years! Since the last time my mother made them about 15 years ago!
Thanks again, as others have mentioned, I will be using everything from the head.(snout, ears and all!) I am looking forward to fried brains and eggs for an upcoming breakfast!
Always great to hear, I have never had the pleasure of Mangalitsa, we kept Saddle Backs and Tamworth, if you get the chance you should look at my Guanciale Recipe, it's by far my favourite use of the head meat, Just Google Steves Guanciale, I suspect it'll pop up and I think Mangalitsa would make amazing Guanciale too..
Thanks. Just watched it shortly after I put up the comment. Will probably use at least one if not both cheeks to make that! I'm the only one around so I'm the only one that will be eating this stuff. I can't wait! Haven't had some of the stuff I am working on since I was a kid! The meat from the Mangalitsa has been phenomenal so far, can't see why it wouldn't make top notch products!
Thanks, Steve. As my mother is Czech, I ate this presswurst often.
Cheers
Hi. I'm from Montana and I have never tried head cheese but after watching this, I plan on it. Thank you!! Absolutely AMAZING watching you.
This is wonderful, thank you!! I raised the pig I am using for this and thinking of putting a couple of the hocks and trotters in to simmer with the head...?
Love your channel!
Great skills you are teaching us. Thanks Steve.
sha whit :o) Thanks
That looks delicious. My brother's a butcher, Steve, and I'll be giving him a call this week.
SW990 Nice, Make the Guanciale too :o)
Steve
Man, I grew up eating Brawn and mustard sarnies. Love it. I need to have a go at making this myself now. It tastes great.
this made me hungry
Im going to try it - thank you!!
Have fun!
Hey that’s great man we should celebrate with with some head cheese the Texas chainsaw manicure
Beautiful!
It's quite similar to one of my Vietnamese traditional recipes for pâtés where I mostly use pork tongue and ears with a small portion of pork cheek. Seasoning it with salt, peppers and instead of fresh parsley, I'd use black mushroom. The texture is very crunchy thanks to black mushroom, pork ears and tongue.
+Hải Nguyễn Huy Very interesting, thanks for sharing that info with me..

I love head cheese
This video just came up and I truly love it. 100%
Thank you for showing how it is done. Free range pigs are easy to get around here, just grab your rifle and find a creek LOL. After the freezer runs low and hunt at my creek, this will be made. Thank you again!
Mike Brooka Thank you Mike, you are very lucky, I wish you good health and eating :)
Same to you and yours. You keep it simple and explain why not just how. All of my cookbooks never showed or told half of why you have. Keep up the fabulous videos!
Mike Brooka That's a real nice compliment Mike, Thanks a bunch, it means so much to me :o)
Steve
Looks delicious!
We LOVED when I was a kid. But we liked it with vinegar parsley a little lemon juice!!! 🌈🇵🇱👩🍳🇺🇸
Nice
In isolation so going to give this a go. Love brawn but never made it myself, looks fantastic.
I made it btw. It was beautiful. Done it a few times since watching this. I love Brawn.
Really professional
Well done thanks
No better sandwich than head cheese and roast beef on a nice firm bread. Top it with a good swiss cheese and mayo and creamy horseradish.
This is a type of meat that was on -just about-the daily menu. And my relatives had a farm, so my father made a lot of "Head Cheese" during the colder months. Thanks for sharing.
Queso de Cabeza, my Grandpa used to make it a lot when he was alive. A family tradition for me. Never knew it was also eaten in Europe.
Indeed it always has been..
Thanks for the video, I had no idea how to make this. I will prepare this for the independence day here in Chile. We eat it in a homemade bun with red hot chili pepper Chilean sauce and mayonnaise. Lovely channel
Lorena A It comes from Europe. Europe is its origin.
Thank you a lovely clear presentation. My husband and | were just talking about the brawn our Moms use to make and |, since having never made Brawn, came to view your video,
Thank you Alison
I love head cheese - Thank you
This is so fantastic ,I had this as young and never asked how !
I bought a beautiful free range half a pig. Complete with head. I will be making some smoked Head cheese. Haven't had it since I lived in Brooklyn 35 years ago
Good luck..
looks like the best spam ever
First time here, thumbs up for that shirt! I have always loved head cheese, now I know how to make it.
Saw your video Novenber 1917 and this looks a lot like the Belgian recipe - except we add pig's feet and some beef in the pot along with the head. Thank you for this recipe. I lost mine back in the 60's and I acquired a pig's head today!
Pigs feet, trotter are very common in this Recipe, it really helps the Cheese Set Firm.. Thanks
Thank you for the heart! Before I make the brawn today, I now hope to find pig's feet (hopefully) to really help set the jelly.and will also have the head quartered for easier handling. My unexpected gift turned into quite a project for today. By the way, I just remembered what Belgians called brawn:'geppast'. I'm so grateful for my exposure to different cuisines which Americans refer to as "exotic" :)
No... I wont make this... but I can't turn off... your videos are awesome... you know it...
Can't say thank you enough.
badgermost I am really considering the guancialle... but maybe I'll try to smoke it... lets see...
badgermost You should it is a real treat and hugely satisfying to make. Smoked :o) That would be cool...
I love head cheese more than I can say. Your method is great and meaty, but I like to have a bit more gel so it is easier to use. I also like it with grated sour pickle in the mix. Epic job, Thank you.
+Garland N Thanks Garland. I agree a little more Gel works well, I often throw a hock in there, that tend to do'it :) Thanks
Steve
If you want to make Cajun hog head cheese (Louisiana, USA) add some Louisiana style hot sauce, some cayenne pepper, a dash or two of liquid smoke and a dash of browning seasoning to the stock and season the meat with Cajun/Creole seasoning instead of salt and pepper, and to the final product add some very thinly sliced green onions along with that parsley.
Your recipe turned out just like I remember from the charcuterie in Lyon where I was born. Beautiful with the parsley and the gelée like I remember. I will look at your other meat recipes. I miss the saucisson de Lyon.
Thank you Joelle, I spent some years in France myself, I miss a lot from there too.. Happy 2017
After watching, this, I would try headcheese. I like everything else from a pig, so why not?
Thank you for this video. I love head cheese on wonder bread and mayo and never knew how it was made.
In the American South, this is called souse and it is made with the head, feet, and neck. I would never eat the commercially manufactured stuff because of the mystery meat factor, but I would definitely try this version (but only if I made it myself so I knew exactly what was in it).
Good to hear :) Thanks
My brother makes it real good
I would sometimes have it in a sandwiches but mostly we would eat it on a bowl with some vinegar on it! Yummy!!!!
It’s definitely a twice a year snack.
Reminds me of a Swedish Christmas julbord. With different brawns. I love it!
Wonderful recipe! Loved it!
Great demo, hope you dont mind but I will share this with my chef students, who will make this as part of their charcuterie course next year. Really well presented Steve!!
Mark Caves I am happy for you to do so Mark, I would love to see how it goes, tell them to say Hi and try the Guanciale if you get chance.
Steve
Steve,
I used to take head cheeze sandwiches to school for lunch. Just HC slice between bread with mayo and mustard.
Mom made it each fall way, way back in the day. She never had a written recipe for anything and always everything was from scratch. She was a fantastic cook.
You have some very nice techniques and a lovely outfit as well.
James, I ate head cheese often as my mother is European. I think we just put vinegar on it.
Wow I've never seen this made! My nonna used love this I haven't seen this at our table since her passing a few years ago. I would try it but most of my family don't like it. Also I would have loved to have seen how you separated the meat I wouldn't know where to start with that. That broth looked amazing too! Great video I loved it and keep experimenting with these different recipes I enjoy that about your channel it's unique :) my nonna would have loved you!!!
Stefanie Leale Bless you Nonna for sharing that with you :o) The meat really just falls off with little to no effort, Thank you for sharing the story with me.
Steve
I guess it is the American version of " queso de puerco" that we eat here in Mexico.
It is essencial part of a good sandwich or as a delicious snack with onion, chili and vinager.
Delicious recipe.
It is indeed..
Good work, wasn't a fan of brawn but this has made me reconsider it. It looks lovely.
Great to hear
I really enjoy your videos!!! You're so clear and methodical. Looking forward to more. :)
Thank you, there are loads on the channel if you like to browse :o) Steve
Yummy
Beautiful
What an absolutely lovely video. We raised our own pigs this year and I am hoping to use the heads. This video makes me feel so confident that I can accomplish this.
So sorry I missed this. I do hope it went well, raising your own makes a huge difference with the respect we give our animals.. well done.
This is the best headcheese video I've watched. Thanks for posting Steve.
Its amazing, the Humble Brawn is a Highly Valued recipe & you can add your own extra ingredients with gelatine to set it. Summer Meat for all to enjoy.
Ah mate, I've just seen your channel and what a great guy to watch. I'm in apprenticeship as a chef... I start on Monday.... Ex serviceman, worked in construction for 15 years and now following my passion. I'll be looking forward to watching your channel in my spare time 👍
Thanks
That looks delicious
+Tony Weimer Cheers Tony..
