Aspic is often prepared for holidays.
At the same time, such a hearty and tasty dish requires a lot of effort and time.
In the process, it is important to take into account some subtleties so that the treat turns out truly appetizing.
The basis of an excellent aspic is the right choice of meat.
Chefs note that it is better to choose shanks, legs or drumsticks. In this case, the jellied meat will definitely harden, since such parts of the carcass serve as a source of natural gelatin.
The main ingredient must first be soaked in cold water.
After 5-7 hours it should be washed and placed in a saucepan.
The meat needs to be covered with cold water. The first broth will have to be poured out, and the pan will need to be washed afterwards. Then the product needs to be covered with clean water, and then you can add vegetables and salt.
The cooking process is long. It usually takes about 6-7 hours.
However, you should not allow the broth to boil too much.
It must be cooked slowly, otherwise you won’t be able to surprise your guests with clear aspic.
