NEXT: TIME to make  MEAT PREPARATION:  For the (meat) of our Vegan Hoghead Cheese. I used Fresh Organic Oyster Mushrooms.  package size 100 g 3. 5 oz   use 3 or 4 packages ..The stems give a grizzle texture. Rinse and cut  the fresh Organic Oyster Mushrooms into small bite size pieces. Add the mushrooms to the broth you cooked for 30mins  Now cook the mushrooms in broth at medium heat for 15+ mins maybe 20 mins.  check to see if mushrooms are cooked but not to soft… we want them to have a lil meaty bite texture…After this is done, set pot aside and let cool to room temperature. Then put in Fridge until it gets nice and cold. I leave mine over night, but you don’t have too, 2 to 3  hours is okay Now that your meat (mushrooms) and broth are seasoned through, Strain the cold broth in a separate bowl; then SEPARATE the mushrooms from the veggies in pot and cut into bite size pieces set aside. you’ll be adding them to the jelling mixture/pot in the next step.   Now that all that’s done time to make some Vegan Hoghead Cheese. Yay! *We will be using Agar Agar to create the jelling effect of the fat from the hog’s head, pig’s feet and hogmaws that are used in the traditional meat version. *For the jelling: For a 32oz Batch you will use 1 CUP of that delicious broth (STRAINED) 3 CUPS of Water 3 tsp of AGAR AGAR POWDER or 1 TBS  Preparation:  Get a pot that can hold at least 32 oz of liquid ready ….. Step 1. Take 1 cup of the cold refrigerated strained broth PLUS 3 cups of water add to               pot. Step 2. ADD AGAR AGAR powder to the cold broth and water in pot… Bring to a full              BOIL while STIRRING CONSTANTLY. until its fully hydrated. Step 3. Reduce the Heat to medium and let it simmer for 2-3 mins. KEEP STIRRING! Step 4. Add the mushrooms you separated and cut up from the veggie broth  Step 5. Add some jarred Jalapeños, Green Olives w/Pimentos sliced              *just enough to make a nice amount in the mixture. or if you want lots of               everything in you Vegan hothead cheese go for it… Step 6. Bring the pot back to a simmer. approximately 1 min. or so. Step 7. Pour into molds/container that will give you the Loaf size of  hothead cheese              you want.    I used a small glass dish for my mold. Step 8. Let cool to set or put in fridge until set.  Step 9. Slice and serve with your favorite crackers. (taste great with Vegan type Ritz).
