Instruction manual
1
Before you start cooking jellied beef legs you need to soak in cold water for about two hours.
2
Two beef legs and ½ lips are well scalded with boiling water. Singe them over the fire and then clean them as best as possible. Remove the hooves, carefully cut off the rough skin with a knife.
3
Break your legs into pieces, and chop the brain moto-skis and put it all in a cast-iron cauldron or other pan. Add salt, various roots and spices, not crushed and not chopped.
4
Fill with cold water, cover and set on fire. When the water boils, remove the foam and reduce the heat to a minimum. Boil for a long time. Add as water evaporates.
5
When the roots are ready, take them out and put aside. And continue to cook the rest until the meat is freely separated from the bones, and the broth itself turns out to be a sticky consistency. The ideal time for cooking meat is about six hours.
6
At the moment when everything is ready, strain the broth through a cloth into a clean pan. Cut the meat, and do not forget to remove the bones.
7
Pour the strained broth into a clean cast-iron cauldron again, add two raw eggs, stir well and let it boil twice. Then strain the broth again and add a little vinegar.
8
Put the chopped meat in a mold, optionally add chopped roots and fill with broth. Allow to cool slightly at room temperature, then refrigerate.
9
Horseradish is served separately with horseradish with vinegar, salt and sugar, or mustard and vinegar. You can decorate the jelly with parsley.
note
It is advisable to filter the broth through a calico fabric, then there will be an unpleasant layer of fat on the surface of the frozen jellied meat and it will be transparent. Through gauze, you won’t get such an effect.
