NOTE TO THE HOUSEHOLDER

There are many options for how to cook jellied meat. But there are a few simple rules that should not be ignored.

1. The knuckle should be quite meaty. There is no need to choose the shank of a very young animal: the lighter the meat, the less rich and saturated the broth will turn out.

2. The meat must be rinsed in cold water, and then immediately remove small fragments of bones.

3. There are several ways to achieve a beautiful amber broth. For example, pre-bake peeled vegetables in a dry frying pan without fat (until black marks appear) and add them to the broth. However, in this case, it will be difficult to remove the cracklings from the finished broth. Therefore, you can simply put the husk of one onion.

4. Together with the bones, meat, onions and onion peels, put the peeled carrots and parsley root into the pan. Carrots will add sweetness to the broth, parsley root - a light aroma characteristic of Russian cuisine. After cooking, the vegetables must be removed from the broth and discarded, since by that time they will have given all their taste to the broth. By the way, spices (for example, a teaspoon of black peppercorns, half a spoon of allspice, three cloves of garlic - you don’t even have to peel, three cloves, a sprig of fresh rosemary the length of a finger, three sprigs of fresh thyme and a straight bunch of flat-leaved parsley) can be put in a bag of a triple layer of gauze, tie with cotton thread and lower into the pan; the free end of the thread can be tied to the handle of the pan - it will be easier to get it. When the broth is almost ready, you can put a few more bay leaves, but not more than 15 minutes.

5. Pour the contents of the pan with cold water so that the water level is 3 centimeters higher than the level of the laid products. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cook at a low boil for about 5-6 hours. At the same time, do not close the pan with a lid, otherwise the broth will acquire a greasy taste and become cloudy. Another option is to cover loosely with a lid.

6. Excess fat and coagulated protein will collect on the surface of the broth during cooking in the form of foam. They must be removed with a spoon: foam - throughout the first hour of cooking, fat - every half hour. As a result, the foam should not remain at all, and the fat should look like scattered small drops.

7. By the end of the process, the liquid will be reduced by half. The finished broth will not be perfectly transparent, as, for example, broth for aspic, however, it will not be pronounced cloudy. Remove the pan from the heat, remove the bones, meat and vegetables. Separate the meat from the bones by hand.

8. It is necessary to sort the meat manually, because only with your fingers you can feel the small bones. Cut the meat into small pieces across the grain. Sometimes it is simply disassembled into fibers, but this can cause some inconvenience when eating. Meat minced with a meat grinder is also not the best option: this is how the texture of muscle fibers is killed and there is no contrast, without which cooked jelly loses its culinary meaning.

9. Optionally, you can add soft cartilage and boiled carrots to the meat, after cutting them. Peel and chop the garlic, also add it to the meat, mix. Salt the still hot broth so that it turns out a little saltier than usual. The fact is that the taste of salt in a cold dish is always less pronounced than in a hot one. Fill everything with broth.

10. Mix everything and transfer to a mold. The jellied meat should be allowed to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, and then carefully rearrange it in the refrigerator. Leave overnight.

Kholodets is a traditional dish that is prepared mainly for festive feasts. In most families, it decorates the New Year's table. Moreover, they gobble it up, as a rule, to the exclamations of one of the main characters of the film "Enjoy Your Bath": "... this is your jellied fish." And they rejoice that they are much more fortunate with the hostess. Aspic, unlike jelly, is not to everyone's liking, because gelatin or other jelly-forming substances are added to it. And the jelly on the rich broth freezes on its own. It is even strange that they cook it mainly in the winter, because a cold dish in the heat is what you need.

There are secrets in the preparation of excellent jelly. In order for the broth to set well even without the addition of gelatin, legs, shanks or tails must be placed in it, and skins, veins and cartilage also contribute to good setting. In the old days, the jelly was cooked in ovens, at a low temperature the meat slowly languished, giving all the necessary substances to the broth, respectively, it became rich, fragrant and solidified well. According to the experience of great-great-grandmothers, also try to cook it over low heat.

The jelly according to the presented recipe will be prepared exclusively from pork. It turns out rich, very tasty and freezes perfectly. Garlic gives it a pleasant spiciness, and spices appetizing aroma.

Ingredients:

  • Pork: legs, meat component with a joint;
  • carrot;
  • garlic;
  • laurel leaf;
  • salt.

Cooking process:

Prepare the meat for. These can be legs (with hooves) and a meat component: part of a pig's head, ears, meat with a bone, joints, shank - in general, at your discretion. In this case, the jelly was prepared from legs and meat with a bone (parts of the joint).


Pork legs need to be scraped, the hooves raised with a knife and removed. Rinse all meat ingredients for jelly well, place in a saucepan, pour boiling water over it. The water should completely cover the meat.


Cook aspic for 5 hours on minimum heat. By this time, prepare the spices, onions, carrots and garlic.


The legs should be well boiled, and not just become soft. The meat should easily separate from the bone.


Salt the broth well, add a whole peeled carrot, onion and bay leaf. Get ready for another hour.


We take out the meat for jelly in a cup, cool a little so that it is comfortable to work with it.


Bulbs and carrots can be thrown away, they have already given their color and taste to the broth.


Remove the finished meat with veins from the bone, chop finely with a knife.


Divide into jelly molds or deep bowls, season with salt if needed to taste.


Stir so that the minced meat has a uniform structure.


A crispy crust on the surface of the broth indicates that the jelly will harden well without gelatin.


Strain the broth to eliminate small bones. Squeeze garlic cloves through a press and add to boiled meat or boil with broth.

Pour liquid into meat molds.


After the broth in the molds has cooled to room temperature, the jelly can be hidden in the refrigerator to harden.


A dish served in portions looks beautiful on the table - personally for everyone. Portions can be additionally decorated by placing decor in the form of sprigs of greenery, circles of boiled carrots, halves of eggs on the bottom. If you turn the mold with frozen aspic onto a flat plate, the decor will be on top.

It looks interesting dish, frozen in a bottle and cut into circles, like a roll. To do this, the slightly cooled broth is poured into a plastic bottle with a cut off top, put in the cold. Then they douse the bottle with hot water and take out the jellied meat. Of course, the broth should freeze very well. For jelly, sometimes they use ribbed forms, bowls, it turns out in an original and beautiful way.

Carrots for decorating aspic, it is better to boil separately, because the one that is boiled with broth often loses its attractive appearance. Diamonds and stars are cut out separately from boiled carrots.

Do not forget to serve traditional sauces with the jelly. You can buy horseradish at the supermarket or make your own. If you have the root of this plant, grate it, salt it, add a little sugar and vinegar. If you add a little beet juice, it will acquire an appetizing shade. And don't forget the mustard!

By the way, spices (for example, a teaspoon of black peppercorns, half a spoon of allspice, three cloves of garlic - you don’t even have to peel, three cloves, a sprig of fresh rosemary the length of a finger, three sprigs of fresh thyme and a straight bunch of flat-leaved parsley) can be put in a bag of a triple layer of gauze, tie with cotton thread and lower into the pan; the free end of the thread can be tied to the handle of the pan - it will be easier to get it. When the broth is almost ready, you can put a few more bay leaves, but not more than 15 minutes.

5. Pour the contents of the pan with cold water so that the water level is 3 centimeters higher than the level of the laid products. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cook at a low boil for about 5-6 hours. At the same time, do not close the pan with a lid, otherwise the broth will acquire a greasy taste and become cloudy. Another option is to cover loosely with a lid.

6. Excess fat and coagulated protein will collect on the surface of the broth during cooking in the form of foam. They must be removed with a spoon: foam - throughout the first hour of cooking, fat - every half hour. As a result, the foam should not remain at all, and the fat should look like scattered small drops.

7. By the end of the process, the liquid will be reduced by half. The finished broth will not be perfectly transparent, as, for example, broth for aspic, however, it will not be pronounced cloudy. Remove the pan from the heat, remove the bones, meat and vegetables. Separate the meat from the bones by hand.

8. It is necessary to sort the meat manually, because only with your fingers you can feel the small bones. Cut the meat into small pieces across the grain. Sometimes it is simply disassembled into fibers, but this can cause some inconvenience when eating. Meat minced with a meat grinder is also not the best option: this is how the texture of muscle fibers is killed and there is no contrast, without which cooked jelly loses its culinary meaning.

9. Optionally, you can add soft cartilage and boiled carrots to the meat, after cutting them. Peel and chop the garlic, also add it to the meat, mix. Salt the still hot broth so that it turns out a little saltier than usual. The fact is that the taste of salt in a cold dish is always less pronounced than in a hot one. Fill everything with broth.

10. Mix everything and transfer to a mold. The jellied meat should be allowed to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, and then carefully rearrange it in the refrigerator. Leave overnight.
