Jellied jelly made from beef and pork feet

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 8 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   To begin with, pork legs and meat should be soaked in cold salted water for 8-10 hours (it is more convenient to leave overnight).

2. STEP 2

   

   In the morning, I thoroughly wash the soaked legs and scrape them with a knife and a hard sponge to remove all dirt, including in hard-to-reach places.

3. STEP 3

   

   I place the processed and soaked pork legs on the bottom of the pan.

4. STEP 4

   

   I wash the beef again. I send it to the legs. It is not necessary to cut the meat; it will cook perfectly even as a whole piece and will be very tasty, soft and not tough. I fill the contents of the pan with cold water and put the pan on the fire.

5. STEP 5

   

   As soon as it boils, I drain the first water - this way you will be able to get rid of the “noise” and the jellied meat will turn out transparent. Refill with clean cold water. The amount of water is individual, it took me 3 liters).

6. STEP 6

   

   I bring it to a boil again and skim off all the foam from the surface of the broth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cook on the lowest heat for 4 hours. I constantly make sure that the jellied meat does not boil, but only simmers.

8. STEP 8

   

   At the same time, I prepare vegetables and spices: allspice and black peppercorns, bay leaves, carrots, onions, garlic.

9. STEP 9

   

   I periodically skim off the fat that forms during the cooking process.

10. STEP 10

    

    After 4 hours, add salt, vegetables and spices (except garlic). I continue to cook for another 2-3 hours. At the very end, I take a salt test again.

11. STEP 11

    

    I remove the meat from the pan and separate it into fibers.

12. STEP 12

    

    I fill the containers in which the jellied meat will freeze with boiled meat.

13. STEP 13

    

    I strain the broth to remove small seeds and spices.

14. STEP 14

    

    I pour the broth into plates.

15. STEP 15

    

    I put the jellied meat in the refrigerator until it hardens completely - about 5-6 hours. The jellied meat is ready!
