Heads

[91vw03]

My local food place has heads. Duck, lamb, pig, calf, etc.

What could these possibly be used for? The pig is the only one with skin on it.

mmmm lamb head is the best!

Calf for Barbacoa, and Lengua if it comes w/tongue. Neither are favorites of mine.

For the lambs head here is what you do.Mix up some fresh chopped rosemary, sea salt, black pepper, oregano (dried) and EVOO.Rub it on the lambs head. Put it in the broiler, you know that tray at the bottom of the oven that i see most people dont use. Roast it for about 20 min or until nicely browned. Baste with a little bit of EVOO when done and thats it.It seems a bit freaky but its delicious. Most people dont know what they are missing

I read about barbacoa in a book (maybe Smokestack Lightnin???) being big along the border in Texas. I bet it is good. They said the eyes are the best... people spread them on bread like butter!!!

Either way. "Parts is parts." BTW: I've customized my UDS for cooking whole heads. They make a wonderful edible centerpeice for party's.

PS: I'm partial to goat head. The horns make nice handles while your'e knawing away.

Tacos de Cabeza are popular.

Take the duck heads and string them together. boil for 20 mins and you have a nice Halloween decoration.
