Trout in Aspic
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can make this aspic either in individual portions or in one large dish. If there is fat on the surface of the broth, be sure to remove it. You can do this with a spoon or by running a paper towel across the surface of the broth. You can garnish it with eggs, cranberries, carrots, or lemon. If you use regular gelatin, you will need to soak it beforehand in a glass of cooled broth for 40–50 minutes. After that, dissolve it in a water bath, mix it with the broth, and strain. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Pour a little broth into the molds and place them in the refrigerator to set. Then slice the olives into rounds, place a piece of boiled carrot in the center of each, and arrange them on the set broth. On top, place a sprig of dill and pour in a little broth so that it does not rise above the greens. Return to the refrigerator to set again. This will help keep the decorations in place.
