Purchasing and Prep
1. Upon arrival of pig faces, immediately cut eyes, tongue, brain and ears.
2. Once all access parts are removed, prepare the wet rub. Whisk together all ingredients and then lather over pig face.
3. After wet rub is applied, prepare dry rub by grinding coriander, black peppercorn, szechuan peppercorn in a spice grinder. Then mix in the remaining dry ingredients and apply the dry rub over the wet.
4. Let cure for a minimum of 24 hours but preferably for 48.
5. After the faces have been thoroughly cured prepare the braising liquid by combining the pork stock with the chilies, peppercorns, honey and salt.
6. Place the faces in a roasting pan and cover with the prepared brasing liquid. Cover with parchment then tinfoil and place into a 300- degree oven for 6-8 hours depending on the size of the heads.
7. While the faces are in the oven, prepare the BBQ by combining first six ingredients in a small sauce pot and placing over medium heat. Cook until all ingredients are charred and begin to burn. Set the hot oil off to the side and let cool before blending.
8. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together, red win vinegar, ketchup soy and sambal olek. Add the blended toasted spice mixture, and mix thoroughly.
9. Once the faces are tender to a touch pull out of oven, cut off the skin surrounding the jowl meat, score the meat and bbq. Place in 450-degree oven for 10 minutes, or until the bbq begins to caramelize.
