Volgograd Blogger Shares Divine Jellied Meat Recipe with Mustard

A «Country Boy» from Leninsky District in Volgograd Region shared his recipe for jellied meat. According to Nikolai Zlydnev, serving it with mustard makes it divinely delicious! However, many commenters said they wouldn«t dare try a dish made from pork and beef trotters and ears... In response, others argued that if you don»t like jellied meat, you simply don«t know how to cook it. Whatever category you fall into, we suggest watching the simple cooking instructions from the rural blogger and following along.

To make jellied meat, you«ll need meat, onion, carrot, garlic, spices, and bay leaf.

«We»re making insanely delicious jellied meat from beef and pork trotters and shanks; ears will work too, by the way. First, soak all this in water for about two hours, then put it on the heat, and after boiling, cook for five minutes. Now drain this water and add fresh water so the broth is clearer. Add an onion, carrot, bay leaf, peppercorns, and don«t forget to salt. Let it cook — for at least 5–6 hours,» explains Nikolai. «When everything is cooked, start separating the meat and shred it into small fibers. Place the meat, sprinkle chopped or crushed garlic on top. Then pour our broth over it. Overnight, take it outside or put it in the refrigerator. With mustard — it»s simply divine! Enjoy your meal!«

If you«re indifferent to meat, you can make an equally healthy fish aspic using fisherman Pyotr Kholin»s recipe. To prepare it, you«ll need the head and tails of any fish, salt, spices to taste, and optionally — lemon, bay leaf, peppercorns, and herbs. For step-by-step instructions, see here.
