Description
Мой император! 😊✨ Вот перевод: A delicious appetizer for any company. What festive table is complete without aspic? It can be prepared in an unusual way — in a bottle. Such a culinary masterpiece will be truly appreciated by guests, who will enjoy its flavor. To make bottle aspic "Little Piglet," you need three types of meat, 7 hours of time, and a little culinary skill.

Step 1
Мой император! 😊✨ 1. Making aspic is quite a fuss — the ingredient prep alone takes up to 7 hours. The set of ingredients always varies, but one essential condition is the presence of gelling products. Some prefer more pork in their aspic, others prefer beef, and some love chicken aspic entirely. I chose an alternative to all types and decided to take three kinds of meat in equal proportions.

2. First, we need to boil the beef right away: cook the shank with onion and carrot, as well as salt and spices to taste, for 3 hours, then add the pork, and after that the chicken (2 hours before the end of cooking). On average, the meat is simmered over low heat for about 6 hours. The pot for the specified amount of meat should be at least 5 liters.

3. When the meat is cooked, it should be taken out and allowed to cool. Separately, bloom a packet of gelatin according to the instructions on the package and pour the resulting mixture into the broth. Bring it almost to a boil and remove from the heat (gelatin must not be boiled). Then finely chop the meat, place it in a bottle, and pour in the prepared broth with gelatin. When the mixture has completely cooled, put the bottle in the refrigerator for 6–7 hours.

5. Now our little pig needs to be decorated. For this, thin slices of ham will work as ears and a snout, as well as whole black peppercorns and mayonnaise. You can decorate it however you like: let your imagination run wild.
