Step cooking

Meat preparation

1. In order for the jellied meat to be light and practically transparent, the pork legs and knuckle need to be washed very well and carefully scraped with a knife to make the skin clean.
   
2. The meat should be soaked well in cold water for 6 - 7 hours. Periodically, change the water 3 to 4 times so that the blood comes off. If the knuckle is too large, it can be divided into several parts.
   
3. We prepare the prepared meat in a large pan. The volume of our pan is 6 liters. Fill with cold water.
   
4. We put on the fire and bring to a boil.
   
5. The first broth is drained. We carefully wash the meat and pan. Again we send clean meat to a clean pan. Pour cold water so that it covers the meat a little. Bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as it begins to boil, reduce the heat to a minimum and collect the resulting foam.
   
6. Cover, cook over low heat for 2.5 - 3.5 hours. The broth in the pan should slowly boil. Do not boil.
   

Product Preparation

1. Separate from the bone and skin 4 pcs. chicken thighs.
   
2. Rinse thoroughly under running water.
   
3. We clean and wash 2 onions and 1 large carrot.
   

Cooking Jellied

1. When the pork meat begins to easily move away from the bone, we send prepared chicken thighs to the broth, approximately 1.5 hours before the pork broth is ready.
   
2. We send whole onions and carrots. If the carrot is very large, divide it into 2 parts. Cook for 1.5 hours.
   
3. About 40-60 minutes before the broth is ready, we take out the cooked carrots. Do not let it boil too much, as it is useful to us for decoration.
   
4. Add 1 tbsp. l salt. We will taste it and add salt closer to the end of cooking.
   
5. Add 10 - 12 pcs. allspice, 10 pcs. black pepper peas and 5 - 6 pcs. bay leaf. Continue to cook over low heat at low boil.
   
6. Take a salt sample, if necessary, add. See to your liking.
   
7. Jellied cooked. We take the boiled meat from the broth, wait until it cools down. Throw the onion, he has already given all his taste.
   
8. We filter the broth. We take another clean pan, set a colander on it, cover it with gauze, rolled up in several layers, pour the broth.
   
9. To get rid of fat, remove the pan with the broth in the refrigerator. Thus, the fat rises, and it is easy to remove from the surface with a spoon. It would be nice to wait until the fat has completely hardened, then it can easily be scraped off. This fat can be used later in the preparation of other dishes.
   
10. The cooled meat is separated from the seeds. In the jellied meat you can add everything that you consider necessary. Finely chopped selected meat or fiber.
    
11. We spread it evenly into the selected containers.At this stage, you can add garlic to the meat container, passed through a press or grated on a fine grater.
    
12. Gently pour the cooled broth into the meat container. We leave a little broth for decoration. We remove the containers in the refrigerator until completely solidified.
    
13. Jellied completely frozen. You can start decorating it.
    

Jellied decoration

1. Boil 1 egg.
   
2. Boiled carrots, which were taken from the broth, cut into thin strips.
   
3. We extract the yolk from the boiled egg, and cut the protein into thin strips.
   
4. We spread carrots and squirrels in the form of a flower on the surface of the jelly.
   
5. Knead the yolk with a fork and add to the middle of the resulting flowers. To give a more elegant look, parsley leaves can be laid out on the sides.
   
6. So that everything remains in place and the picture is fixed, pour a small amount of broth on top. Sent in the refrigerator for 10 - 15 minutes to solidify.
   
7. 15 minutes have passed, now you can safely fill our patterns. Carrot flowers and eggs should be completely covered with broth.
   
8. Again, put it in the refrigerator until it solidifies. Our holiday jelly is ready.
