Studenetz 1 (Jellied Meat Loaf)

Ingredients:

• 8 pork feet
• 3 pork hocks
• 1 veal shank and bone
• 1 tsp. mixed spices, ie celery seed, parsley (tied in a small bag)
• 1 tsp. salt (or to taste)
• 1 medium onion
• 1-3 cloves of garlic

Method:

Singe the feet and hocks. Wash well and place into a pot of boiling water.  Add the veal shanks. After these have boiled for 10 minutes, lift out the meat and rinse thoroughly. Put the meat into a clean pot and add water, just enough to cover the meat. Bring to a boil; then turn down the temperature and simmer for 30 minutes.

Add the spices, onion, garlic and salt. Continue simmering until the meat falls off the bone (approximately 2 1/2 – 3 hours).

Remove the spice bag and strain the stock. Cut the meat into small, bite-size pieces. Be sure to remove all the bones.  Place the meat into a casserole dish or baking pan.  I use my 9 X 13 baking pan. Pour the stock over the meat and refrigerate until firm, 4-6 hours or overnight.
