A knuckle with gelatin is a very tasty and "elegant" appetizer that can be served at a festive table. For the jellied dish, you can use the back and front shins. They differ only in the amount of meat, but have the same gelling properties. The recipe includes bright vegetables and greens that complement the taste of the knuckles and decorate the dish.

How to cook Knuckle with gelatin

Step 1

Boil the shanks. Place the shanks in a cauldron or deep saucepan. Add onion, carrot, bay leaves, salt and black peppercorns. Cover with water and cook for 1.5-2 hours until the meat is soft, skimming off the foam. Do not drain the broth after cooking.

Step 2

Make the jellied meat. Remove the shanks and vegetables from the broth. Cool the shanks a little, remove the skin and meat. Remove the fat and skin - you won't need them. Cut the boiled vegetables into circles and place them in a mold with the meat. Strain the warm broth through a fine-mesh sieve. Add gelatin and leave to swell for 5 minutes. Stir until completely dissolved. Pour the broth over the meat and vegetables. Garnish the dish with parsley. Place the jellied meat in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
