I really wanted to make jellied meat and just found a recipe on the website for jellied pork legs in a pan. In addition to the legs, I also took a pork knuckle. The legs were washed, scrubbed and soaked overnight. Then she drained the water and poured fresh water. I added the knuckle to the legs and set it to cook. Cooked for 4.5 hours, after which I added carrots, peppers, bay leaves, peppercorns and boiled for another 1.5 hours. Remove the meat from the cooled legs and shanks with a knife and finely chop them. I cut the boiled carrots into rings and placed them on the bottom of the containers. Mixed the meat with chopped garlic and placed it in containers. I salted the broth, strained it and poured it over the meat. I put it in the refrigerator to harden. When serving, I turned the container over onto a plate. Well it turned out very tasty! Thanks Maria for the idea!!
