What do you need:
- beef pulp - about 1 kg;
- a pack (25 grams) of gelatin;
- boiled chicken egg - 1 piece;
- medium-sized carrots;
- greens, olives;
- pepper, salt, bay leaf.
Technology
To cook the beef jellied, gelatin should be soaked at the very beginning. Pour it with a glass of cold water and leave for an hour. During this time we will prepare meat and vegetables. Wash and peel the carrots. Rinse the meat and fill it with cold water (about 2.5 liters), add carrots to it, put a bay leaf, salt and put to cook for 2 hours. Remove the carrots immediately after being ready. Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the broth and set to cool. Strain the liquid. Immediately add gelatin to it. Put it on the fire again, bring to a boil and immediately turn it off. You do not need to boil. Cut boiled carrots and eggs in neat circles. Cut the meat into even portions across the fibers. Put meat, greens, olives, egg in the jellied dish. Lay out the ingredients beautifully. Pour in the broth and place it in the refrigerator.
Beef jellies can be decorated in many ways. For example, make roses from vegetables or lay out green peas and slices of lemon. Show your imagination, and your dish will look spectacular and appetizing on the festive table.
