Pig's head terrine with parsnip toffee, pear, cumin and watercress

Blowtorch the face of the pig to remove any hairs

Add the thyme, crushed garlic and the pig's head. Add enough hot water to cover. Simmer gently for 4 hours or until soft and tender

Use a large slotted spoon or set of strong tongs to remove the pigs head from the pan. Allow to cool slightly

While still warm, pick off all the meat, skin and fat and place into a large bowl with the grain mustard and sea salt. Beat with a wooden spoon until all the soft meat, fat and skin emulsifies with the mustard

Line a 1 inch deep, non-stick tray with cling film. Pour the mixture into the tray, cover with another layer of cling film. Place another tray of the same size on top to press and set the mix. Leave in the fridge for 8 hours until firm

For the parsnip purée, peel and chop the parsnip finely. Sweat in the butter over a medium heat. Once soft, deglaze with the grapefruit juice and blend into a smooth purée. Season to taste and set aside until required

For the toffee, cut the parsnip into small chunks and cook gently in milk until tender. Strain discard the milk and set aside 200g of the cooked parsnip until required

Heat the sugar and water to 185°C. Heat the cream in a separate pan and pour into the sugar mixture, while whisking continuously

For the raw parsnip, peel the parsnip and shave wafer thin on a mandolin, drizzle with lemon juice, maple syrup and sea salt and leave in the fridge to breakdown, soften and marinate for 1 hour

For the parsnip crisps, peel and slice the parsnips wafer thin on a mandolin and fry in the vegetable oil at 130°C until very crisp. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper and sprinkle with ground cumin and season with sea salt, keep in an airtight container until required

Slice the terrine into a 2cm thick rectangle (twice the size of a matchbox). Place in a very low oven and allow to warm so that the fat melts

Cut the pear into chunks and season with sea salt

Brush each plate with parsnip toffee, a spoonful of the parsnip purée, 2 pieces of raw parsnip and 2 parsnip crisps. Arrange a slice of the terrine onto each plate. Finish with a few chunks of pear and 2 sprigs of watercress. Serve immediately
