How to cook Aspic-cocktail "Bloody Mary"

Step 1

We cook jelly according to your favorite recipe. We disassemble the meat into small pieces, filter the broth. Add minced garlic to it. We lay out the meat in molds for muffins and pour 2 tbsp into each. l. broth, remove for 30 minutes in the freezer.

Step 2

While the jelly is freezing, prepare the Bloody Mary cocktail. Soak gelatin in warm broth for 10 minutes. Add half a glass of tomato juice to it and heat it on the stove until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Next, mix with the remaining juice and vodka, season with Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Pour the finished sauce into ice molds - preferably in the shape of hearts. Put in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

Step 3

When the cocktail and jelly harden, put in molds with jelly in portions of "Bloody Mary" and add the broth to the edges of the form. We put in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Step 4

Before serving, be sure to remove the fat so that the surface is transparent.

Aspic-cocktail "Bloody Mary" - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of meat in the aspic, or is there a vegetarian alternative?

Absolutely! You can substitute the meat with shredded chicken, ham, or even smoked salmon. For a vegetarian option, try using cooked lentils or hearty mushrooms instead of meat, and vegetable broth in place of meat broth. Agar-agar can be used instead of gelatin to set the aspic.

How long can I store the Aspic-cocktail 'Bloody Mary' in the refrigerator?

This dish will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure it’s covered tightly to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other flavors.

Can I freeze the Aspic-cocktail 'Bloody Mary'?

Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture of the jelly and affect the overall quality of the dish. The aspic may become watery upon thawing.

What's the best way to unmold the Aspic-cocktail 'Bloody Mary' without damaging it?

Dip the mold briefly in warm water (being careful not to melt the aspic) or gently loosen the edges with a thin knife before inverting onto a serving plate.

I don't like vodka. What can I substitute it with in the 'Bloody Mary' jelly?

You can replace the vodka with extra tomato juice or a non-alcoholic spirit alternative for a virgin version. Be sure to adjust the seasoning to taste, as vodka does contribute to the overall flavor.

How can I make this recipe low-carb friendly?

Ensure the tomato juice you use is sugar-free. You can also use a low-carb sweetener if needed. Consider using cauliflower rice cooked in broth instead of meat.

Can I make this in one large mold instead of individual portions?

Yes, you can use a larger mold if desired. However, keep in mind that the setting time may increase, and it might be more difficult to unmold. Ensure the mold is thoroughly chilled before unmolding.
