But the Independent recipe only mascrades as brawn, and I quote the salient paragraph.

This is a less hardcore version of brawn, or fromage de tête, as it's known in France. Real brawn is generally made with a pig's head that's boiled for a few hours with some herbs and spices. Then all the meat and skin is broken up - including the tongue and brain - and set in its own jelly. A pork knuckle will do the job, so you've got the brawn without the brain. Sorry, I just couldn't resist that - nor could I resist buying a few pigs' trotters to put into mine as they were sitting right next to the pork knuckles, waiting to be bought.

This result of this modified recipe is pigs trotters in aspic!
