Step 1/7
For greater transparency, we recommend soaking the pork legs overnight in cold water. In the morning, the water must be drained, the legs washed and scraped with a knife.
Step 2/7
Put the pork legs in a large saucepan, pour 6 liters of water, bring to a boil and remove the foam. Turn down the heat and cook for 4 hours, removing the foam occasionally.
Step 3/7
Add pork neck, bulb peeled from the top layer of husk and peeled carrots, bay leaf to the broth. Cook for another hour and a half. You can check the broth for readiness: moisten the index and thumb in the broth and connect. If they are glued together, it means that the jellied meat will definitely freeze.
Step 4/7
Remove the meat and legs from the stock and leave to cool. Strain the broth itself, salt to taste. Take out the vegetables too. Throw out the onions, and the carrots can be used in a dish.
Step 5/7
Disassemble the meat into fibers, mix with finely chopped garlic.
Step 6/7
Put in the tin. You can put carrot circles on the bottom, then when turning over, the jellied meat will have a bright carrot "lid." Pour the broth over the meat and leave to set in the fridge overnight.
Step 7/7
Serve jellied meat with mustard or horseradish.
