Savory Meat Stock Aspic (Jellied Meat Terrine)

Prepare the Broth: Add all ingredients to a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very gentle simmer. Skim off any scum that forms on the top.

Simmer Low and Slow: Let it simmer uncovered for 4–6 hours until the broth is rich and slightly thickened. Bones should be falling apart and the meat tender.

Strain the Broth: Remove the meat and vegetables. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Shred any meat and discard the bones and vegetables.

Assemble: Place shredded meat evenly in a rectangular or square mold or loaf pan. Pour the strained broth over the meat until just covered.

Chill: Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight until fully set.

Serve: Slice into squares or unmold onto a plate and cut to serve. Optional: garnish with herbs or serve with mustard, pickles, or crackers.
