Pork Aspic
Description
Perfect with the meal and with drinks. Once the aspic has fully set, invert the mold and the aspic will release from the container. If you have trouble with this, do not pick at or deform the appetizer. Heat water in a kettle and pour it into a large container. Place the dish with the aspic in the hot water for a few seconds and the aspic will release cleanly from the mold. Serve the aspic with mustard or horseradish.
