Aspic is a traditional dish that only an experienced housewife can prepare.
Not everyone's dish turns out tasty and transparent enough.
But in order for the aspic to be served at the table without being embarrassing, it should not be cloudy.
What tricks are important to remember?
First broth
Surely you have noticed that the aspic turns out cloudy, despite your efforts and efforts. The thing is that you need to remove the first batch of water.
We pour water over our meat products and bones, bring to a boil, wait a few minutes and remove the liquid. Again, pour in a sufficient amount of water and start cooking.
It is this broth that will become the basis for the clear aspic.
Add vegetables correctly
Without vegetables, the aspic will not be so interesting and rich, so you can't do without them. However, you need to add them correctly.
Experienced cooks advise to first bake them a little or fry them in a dry frying pan. There is even a recommendation to process vegetables with an open fire - in this case, the aroma of the dish will be magical.
Time
If you cook traditional aspic, it takes at least seven hours. However, the amount of time can be reduced if you use poultry as the main component.
Slotted spoon or spoon?
Many people are used to removing foam and fat only with a slotted spoon. But the right solution would be to use a spoon.
This will help to remove excess fat from the aspic, which could ruin everything.
