If you want to cook a tasty and hearty meat dish without spending a lot of money, try making jelly. This classic Ukrainian delicacy with a minimum of ingredients will surprise you with its ease of preparation and taste. Another indisputable advantage of the dish is its benefits, because it is rich in collagen, which has a positive effect on joints, skin and general health.
Perfect jelly can be prepared even on a limited budget, if you choose the right products. You only need three main ingredients for this: veal bones, carrots and onions. Bones are an accessible and inexpensive product, from which you can prepare not only tasty, but also rich broth. Their cost is around 0,68-1 hryvnias per kilo, and they have enough meat for jelly.
The cooking recipe is simple and you will see it now.
First of all, rinse the bones thoroughly under cold water. Then put them in a saucepan and cover with cold water. It is important to start cooking the jelly over low heat so that the meat gradually gives all its flavors to the broth. When the water boils, skim off the foam and then cook on very low heat for 3-4 hours. During the cooking process, add peeled onions and carrots to the liquid - they will give the dish not only aroma, but also a beautiful color.
When the meat separates from the bones, carefully remove it and pass the broth through a sieve, or even better through cheesecloth, to get rid of small bones and unnecessary particles. Now you can cut the soft part into small pieces and return it to the pan, adding spices to your taste - bay leaf, black pepper, garlic. Let the dish cook for another 15-20 minutes so that all the flavors blend well.
After that, remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the broth with meat into molds or plates. For more beauty and taste, add a few slices of boiled carrots to the jelly. Put the mold in the refrigerator for several hours, or better overnight, so that the dish hardens.
