preparation
- The production is very simple. I buy two fat legs and a nut. Can also be added two pig ears or pointed legs. This promotes the gelling process. But does not have to be.
- I put the meat in two pots of cold water. In addition salt, peppercorns, bay leaf, large onion, a stick of leek, large slice of celery and 2-3 large carrots (about 4 cm cut).
- When I touch the rind from the knuckle and it retreats, the meat is cooked. Remove and allow to cool a bit for cutting. Meanwhile, everything is poured through a sieve, so that only the broth is there.
- The meat I cut small and sort. Some want it with everything, nice fat, others just skinny jelly. I satisfy both wishes by mixing the lean meat of stout and nut (because the meat of the nut is quite firm and that of the knuckle looser).
- The "lean wishes" get only lean meat in the bowl and the others get everything mixed.
- Chop generously gherkins into small cubes and add to the meat.
- Estimate or measure how much broth is there. Therefore, stir in the gelatin (previously soaked in cold water) into the strongly heated broth. Then add vinegar. The broth must taste very sour, because it is not so intense in the cold state. Then the brawn would be too lax. I take 10% sprit vinegar. That's the best way to be clear.
- Pour the broth into the prepared bowls and refrigerate after cooling. Everything must be covered. In the fridge, the brawn is ready to serve the next day.
- Should it have become a bit too lax, you can pass a few drops of vinegar before serving. Some even make a few drops of oil over it. But in any case now finely diced onion must be added.
- Hearty fried potatoes - that's a delicious dinner.
Peeling on my frozen brawn was not brave. It was worth a try before throwing it away. Was amazed that this is so wonderful. There are no taste impairments.
I think, now I have answered everything in one.
If you have any problems, please ask if I forgot something.
