Jelly jelly made of beef and pork legs

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

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

2. Step 2:

   

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

3. Step 3:

   

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

4. Step 4:

   

   I wash the beef again. I'm sending it to the legs. It is not necessary to cut the meat, it will cook perfectly in a whole piece and will be very tasty, soft and not hard. I pour 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 it will be possible to get rid of the "noises" and the jelly will turn out transparent. Re-fill 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, remove all the foam from the surface of the broth.

7. Step 7:

   

   I cook on the lowest heat for 4 hours. I constantly make sure that the jelly does not boil, but just languishes.

8. Step 8:

   

   In parallel, I prepare vegetables and spices: allspice and black pepper peas, bay leaf, carrots, onions, garlic.

10. Step 9:

    

    Periodically remove the fat that is formed during cooking

11. Step 10:

    

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

12. Step 11:

    

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

13. Step 12:

    

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

14. Step 13:

    

    I filter the broth to remove small bones and spices.

15. Step 14:

    

    I pour the broth on plates.

16. Step 15:

    

    I put the jelly in the refrigerator until it freezes completely — for about 5-6 hours. The jelly is ready!
