Step cooking
- Meat suitable for jellied meat must necessarily contain bones, cartilage, tendons - these are the “parts” that make the broth harden. However, pure meat itself is also needed, therefore, most often for jellied meat choose pork legs and shanks, beef tails, rooster meat with bones. Mistresses also often make assorted dishes. In this recipe, beef tails are selected as the basis. The meat needs to be prepared for further processing - soak the beef tails in water for an hour (the pork shanks can be washed just under water, just like chicken).
- On a stove put a large pot of five liters, put meat on its bottom and fill it all with water. Water should completely cover beef tails and rise above their edge by 2-3 cm. Depending on the pan, up to 4 liters of water can go. Water can be filled with ordinary water, because it will need to be drained after boiling. Rinse the meat again under running water. This step allows you to get rid of excess protein, which turns into foam and because of which the broth becomes cloudy.
- Pour meat now with drinking water according to the same principle as before. When the water begins to boil, remove the foam that forms on the surface with a slotted spoon or spoon.
- Peel the onion and add to the pan. Turn on a slow fire and cook the future aspic for about 5-6 hours. The lid should be slightly ajar. At the end of cooking (20-30 minutes) add 1.5 tbsp. l salt, peppercorns and a couple of pieces of bay leaf.
- To collect a greasy film on top of the broth, use ordinary napkins - just immerse one in water and immediately get out, the napkin will absorb excess fat. Try to spread it over the surface of the broth.
- Turn off the heat and squeeze 4 garlic cloves into the broth.
- Leave the broth at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to insist.
- Take out the meat. It cools down a bit and can be taken apart. Strain the broth through a sieve and pour it into prepared jellied jars.
- Separate the meat from the bones and divide into small pieces. Distribute evenly over broths with broth.
- Leave to cool. Then cover with lids and refrigerate for 10 hours. Your jellied meat is ready! It's time to feast on!
