Pig Head Pozole and Crispy Baked Ears

Offal, Videos — By David on October 20, 2009

It’s not hard to find a pig head in Laredo, although most grocers and meat markets only stock a few at a time, so when we noticed the heads being restocked we grabbed one before they sold out. Cooking the head was surprisingly easy and it turned out great, so we already have plans to buy more pig heads soon. For this first-time around we followed a Rick Bayless recipe for a traditional version of Pozole, a tasty Mexican pork and hominy soup.

    @tsmanala you have to try it first to understand. it is ridiculously good!

  6. Daniel says:

    pozole has a silent e and i’m pretty sure that Rick Bayless says that on tv.

    regardless, pozole is one of my favorite soup/stews.

    heads are scary, in general. although, when attachd to the piggy and roasted, the concept is sublime.

    • David says:

      We’re not masters of Spanish by any means, but all the Mexican’s we know in Texas definitely do pronounce the “e” like “leh” and we’ve never heard it said any other way.

  8. Dede says:
