Roast Pig Head with Potatoes in the Dutch Oven

Ingredients

• 1 small pig head
• 4 garlic cloves, halved
• 4 potatoes, quartered
• Salt
• Pepper
• Oregano
• 200 g water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Wash the pig head thoroughly, and if there are any remaining hairs, use a clean razor to shave them off.
2. Use a sharp knife to make small cuts in the pig head and insert the garlic pieces into the slits.
3. Sprinkle the head with oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil, and place it in a Dutch oven.
4. Pour the water into the Dutch oven, cover it, and roast the pig head for 2 hours.
5. Occasionally check the Dutch oven and add a bit more water if necessary to ensure there’s enough for the potatoes to cook.
6. After 2 hours, open the Dutch oven and place the potatoes around the pig head.
7. Cover the Dutch oven again for 10 minutes to allow the potatoes to start cooking.
8. Finally, uncover the Dutch oven and finish roasting with the lid off so the potatoes turn golden and the skin of the pig head becomes crispy.

Enjoy this traditional roast dish, a hearty meal with tender meat and crispy, flavorful potatoes!
