Step by Step guide
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients.
Step 2
Rinse all the meat thoroughly, place it in a pot, and cover it with water so that the water level is 7–8 cm above the meat.
Step 3
Place the pot on the heat, bring to a boil, and skim off the foam. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 4–5 hours.
Step 4
Add a whole onion and a carrot. You can leave the skin on the onion, as it will give the broth a golden color. Cook for another 2 hours.
Step 5
Make a small pouch out of a piece of cheesecloth, and place a bay leaf and allspice inside.
Step 6
Place this sachet in a pot, add salt, and simmer the broth for another 20–30 minutes. The broth should taste slightly oversalted.
Step 7
Strain the broth and add the crushed garlic. Adjust the salt if needed. Discard the vegetables and the spice bag.
Step 8
Shred the meat into fibers and chop it finely.
Step 9
Place the meat in the mold for the aspic.
Step 10
Pour in the broth, cover, and refrigerate until set.
Step 11
Serve the aspic with horseradish or mustard.
