Ingredients:
- water - 1 l
- meat (pork, beef) - 400 g
- onions - 2 pcs.
- boiled eggs - 2 pcs.
- large carrots - 1 pc.
- frozen peas - 50 g
- cranberries - 30 g
- parsley
- salt - 1/2 tbsp. l.
- bay leaf - 2 pcs.
- black peppercorns - 5-6 pcs.
- gelatin - 20 g (for 500 ml of broth)
Step by step recipe
1. First, let's prepare the broth.
Put 400 g of meat in a saucepan. Fill with water. I use pork, but you can also use other meats like chicken or beef. We put on fire. As soon as the water boils, remove the pan from the heat, pour out the water, wash the meat and the pan from limescale.
2. Put the meat, 2 onions and 1 large or 2 medium carrots in the pot again. Pour in about 1 liter of water. We put everything on fire and cover with a lid. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat to the very minimum and cook the meat for about 1 hour. You need to cook on the lowest heat, so that it barely gurgles, so the broth will turn out to be more transparent and beautiful.
3. 15 minutes before the end of cooking, salt the meat with about 0.5 tbsp. salt, put 2 bay leaves and 5-6 black peppercorns. Mix everything and cook the remaining time.
4. The meat is boiled, we take it out of the pan, we also take out the carrots, we do not need onions.
We filter the broth. I filter through a paper towel. For a more transparent broth, strain it 2-3 times. You can use gauze instead of a paper towel.
5. Pour 20 g of gelatin into a bowl and pour 150 ml of hot broth. We mix everything until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Gelatin must be diluted according to the instructions for a volume of 500 ml of liquid.
6. Cut the boiled meat into slices, and then cut the slices into small cubes.
We also cut boiled carrots into slices, and then into cubes.
7. Divide two boiled eggs into yolk and white. We do not need the yolks, and cut the protein into small cubes.
8. Put chopped meat, carrots and protein in a bowl. Mix everything a little.
9. Pour 350 ml of broth into a separate bowl and add diluted gelatin to it. We mix everything.
10. We add the aspic.
Place silicone muffins on the board.
Put a few cranberries on the bottom of each mold. I have frozen cranberries. We spread the parsley leaves. Frozen peas. And on top we spread the prepared mixture of meat, carrots and protein. So we fill in all the forms. I filled 6 muffin tins with center and 4 muffin tins without center. If desired, everything can be laid out in one large form.
11. Fill all the molds with the prepared broth with gelatin. We fill it carefully, pouring it out with a tablespoon, so as not to disturb all the beauty that was laid out below.
Put the filled molds in the refrigerator to freeze.
12. The filler froze. We take it out of the refrigerator and leave it on the table for about 5 minutes. Then we carefully pass the knife along the top of the mold, separating the filling from the walls of the mold.
Put the dish on top of the silicone mold and turn it over.
13. We try to separate the jellied from the molds, squeezing them a little with our hands. We remove the form.
If the jellied one does not leave the mold so easily or you have poured it into glass or ceramic molds, then put it in hot water for a few seconds and then remove it.
We serve the finished aspic on the table.
The portioned aspic turned out to be bright, beautiful and tasty. Preparing is easy and fast enough. Instead of pork, you can use any other meat, such as chicken or beef. In the same way, you can make jellied in a large form.
