Pork leg and beef jelly

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook pork leg jelly? Prepare the required ingredients. Choose the parts of beef to your taste. If your meat is frozen, defrost it overnight on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the pork legs thoroughly, clean if necessary, and soak overnight. This is necessary so that the blood comes off the meat and the jelly turns out to be transparent.

3. Step 3:

   

   In the morning, wash the meat and legs again and cut into pieces if necessary.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the meat in a saucepan and fill with water (the amount of water is individual, it took me about 3 liters). Put the pan on the fire.

5. Step 5:

   

   Bring the contents of the pan to a boil, do not forget to remove the foam, and cook on very low heat under a closed lid for 4 hours. Constantly make sure that the jelly does not boil, but only languishes. If it starts to gurgle strongly, you need to open the lid, otherwise the broth will not be transparent.

6. Step 6:

   

   Remove the fat that is formed during cooking.

7. Step 7:

   

   After 4 hours, add a whole onion and peeled whole carrots to the broth.

    Remove the meat and legs from the broth, and strain the broth through cheesecloth.

14. Step 13:

15. Step 14:

    

    At the legs, separate the flesh from the bone and finely chop.
