Beef and Pork Trotter Aspic
Description
This recipe won't take much time. Here is a recipe that explains how to make aspic from beef and pork trotters. If you follow all the steps described above, the aspic should turn out fairly clear and hold its shape well. I recommend serving it with mustard or horseradish. Good luck. Serve the appetizer at the table.

Drain the water. Rinse the meat and the pot it was cooked in. Cover it with water again, adding enough water so the meat is covered by 6–7 cm. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, add the onion, and cook for 2 hours.
