Holiday Aspics

Marie-Antoine’s Aspic Chaud-Froid

2¼ pound cracked beef shin
1 pig’s foot, cut in small chunks
1 onion stuck with 2 cloves
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon thyme
2 carrots
1 stalk celery
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup sherry
4 hard boiled eggs

Preparation:

Cover and cook all ingredients except the eggs in a pan over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Add 3 pints water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 3½ to 4 hours until the liquid ripples. Remove beef shin and let cool, then pour the aspic stock into a terrine pan, arranging the sliced eggs, meat and vegetables. Chill overnight and serve.

You’ll quiver with anticipation!
