The way of cooking jellied chicken with leek and sweet pepper

The secret of any delicious aspic in a well-cooked broth. We put in the cold water chicken meat without skin and bones, add 100 g of celery, green leaves of leek, a few cloves of garlic, black pepper, bay leaf. Cooking on low heat for 40 minutes, as if the broth boils strongly, it will lose transparency. Together with the chicken, you can boil the carrot to decorate the filler, but you need to get it out of the broth after about 15 minutes so that it does not boil soft.

Leave the chicken meat to cool in the finished broth for 20 minutes. Then filter the broth through a sieve, separate a little (about 100 ml), dilute gelatin in it, according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. We filter the broth with gelatin again so that undissolved grains of gelatin do not get into the filler.

Cut the boiled carrots into asterisks, put them in a mold for the filler. I make stars from carrots so, with a sharp knife I cut triangular bars (approximately five bars at regular intervals) along the entire length, and then cut thick slices.

Blanch vegetables in chicken broth for about 3 minutes. Vegetables should not be soft, boil them to the state of al-dente, so that they crunch.

Put vegetables on a layer of chicken, mix the remaining broth and broth with diluted gelatin, fill the form to the brim.
