This mixture of different pieces of pig's head, including 15% tongue but no brains, are chopped and bound in jelly to make a bread which is then larded. Cooked with spices and herbs, this rolled head can be served or sold in slices or prepared in cubes, seasoned in a salad or accompanied by green salad and pickles.
Le Delas has chosen this ravigote calf's head, a flagship recipe of French gastronomy, prepared using the traditional method. Made from calves reared and slaughtered in France, it is rolled with the cheeks and tongue, then cooked for a long time in a stock, for a uniquely powerful flavour. De-fatted, moulded and sliced by hand, it is then served with a ravigote sauce (a vinaigrette made from egg, mustard and gherkins). This traditional charcuterie dish, made by a passionate craftsman since 1987, is ideal for catering professionals offering authentic, quality cuisine.
