Pork Jellied Meat
Pork aspic is cooked without a lid, ensuring the broth remains clear. Adding water is also not recommended, as it will be less rich, less sticky, and will not set well.
- Pig's feet
- Pork pulp
- Onions
- Carrot
- Parsley (root)
- Bay leaf
- Garlic
- Black peppercorns
- Prepare the pork trotters. Clean them with a knife, then wash them thoroughly and rinse them in boiling water several times. Wash the pork and cut into large pieces.
- Place the pork tenderloin and shanks in a large saucepan. Add enough drinking water to cover the meat by 1.5 cm. Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Use a slotted spoon to skim off any foam. Peel the onion, carrot, and parsley root, then coarsely chop and lightly fry in a hot frying pan without oil. Add to the pan with the pork.
- Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for five hours. Do not add water. Thirty minutes before the end of cooking, add the bay leaf and peppercorns. Season with salt to taste.
- Remove the meat and vegetables from the pan. Strain the broth through a double layer of cheesecloth into a clean pan. Cover the pan with a lid and keep in a warm place until use.
- Remove the meat from the legs and chop finely. Peel and chop the garlic. Finely chop the pork. Arrange the meat in the molds and sprinkle with garlic. Pour the strained broth in a thin stream and let cool completely.
- Refrigerate for 4-5 hours. Once set, carefully scrape off any fat that has risen to the top with a spoon. Before serving, coarsely slice the aspic and garnish as desired.
