Remember this forever. These 4 products should not be added to aspic
Kholodets is a favorite dish of many eaters. But few of them know what ingredients it should not contain.
By the way, society evaluates the quality of jellied meat not only by taste.
Connoisseurs of this dish also pay close attention to its appearance.
It is generally accepted that the ideal aspic is one that is transparent and has an elastic but delicate texture.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova , the main component of the dish is, of course, meat.
You can add some vegetables, but don’t overdo it if you don’t want to spoil the aspic.
What you definitely shouldn’t add to the broth for jellied meat is a large amount of seasonings and spices.
Not only will they make the broth cloudy, they will also push its meaty flavor to the back burner.
It is recommended to add only bay leaf, peppercorns and salt.
You can also add onions, carrots, garlic or celery.
But potatoes, rice and other cereals are not at all suitable for aspic, as they turn it into some kind of jelly-like soup.
As for meat, do not use meat that has a lot of sinew, fat and films.
Without such meat, the dish will be not only tastier, but also healthier.
Classic aspic, experts remind us, is chicken, turkey, as well as red meat (beef shank, pork legs, ears, tail, etc.).
And one more thing. The jelly should harden on its own, you shouldn’t “help” it with gelatin.
