Many housewives do not consider poultry meat for cooking cold, believing that there are few gelling substances in it.

Bon Appetit!

Good afternoon.

People have different attitudes to jellied meat. Many consider it too fatty and high in calories, thinking that its main component is frozen fat. But this is a delusion. The jelly-like form of aspic is given by collagen - a special protein contained in ligaments and tendons. There is practically no fat in the jellied meat - only about 4 grams per 100 grams of product. The rest is protein. Most of the fat, when the jellied meat freezes, rises and forms a film on the surface, which it is desirable to remove.

So jellied meat is not only tasty, but also dietary and fits perfectly into almost any concept. Well, in order to make it as useful as possible, I offer you several recipes for making jellied meat from the leanest meat - chicken.

How to cook chicken jelly with gelatin

Gelatin is used in the preparation of jellied meat if you take meat with absolutely no bones or with very little of them. In this case, there will be almost no collagen in your broth (since there is practically no collagen in pure meat) and it will not become jelly-like when cooled.

It's neither good nor bad, it's just a slightly different way of cooking.

Ingredients for 1.5 liters of broth:

• 600-700 gr broiler breast on the bone
• 1 boiled carrot
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 40 g of instant gelatin
• 2 bay leaves
• 4-6 pieces of black peppercorns
• 1 medium onion

Preparation:

1. Boil the chicken in a saucepan with 1.5 liters of water. We do this for 2-2.5 hours on the lowest heat. Don't forget to add salt to the broth. In the same saucepan, along with the chicken, put the bay leaf, pepper and onion.

The first rule for obtaining a transparent broth: you do not need to peel the onion, put it whole, removing the easily loose husk

2. Boil carrots too. This should be done separately from the chicken in another saucepan.

The second rule of a clear broth: vegetables (except onions) are boiled separately, and the foam formed during the cooking process of meat must be constantly removed

3. Disassemble the boiled chicken into fibers.

4. Rub the carrots on a coarse grater, press the garlic through a garlic press.

5. Mix chicken with carrots and garlic, put in prepared forms. If desired, the jellied meat can be slightly pepper at this stage.

6. Take 1 ladle of warm (not hot) broth and fill it with gelatin. Dissolve it with thorough mixing.

7. Then pour the gelatin into a saucepan with broth and beat everything well with a whisk.

8. Pour the broth into molds with meat.

9. Done. We put the forms in the refrigerator for 2.5 - 3 hours.

After that, it will acquire the desired consistency and can be eaten.

Bon Appetit!

In addition, cooking them does not require special culinary skills and does not take much time. Therefore, when you see a product such as chicken feet on sale, do not pass by. After all, they are quite inexpensive, and you can prepare a delicacy that contains many useful substances necessary for the body.

Recently, traditional medicine began to conquer the modern world. Even with complex diseases, you can find the recipes of our ancestors based on the treatment with natural materials. But are all the old methods so useful? And now there are many disputes on this topic. For example, is the jellied meat of their chicken legs good for joints?

The benefits and harms of jellied meat for joints have many controversial points. And in some cases, you need to ask yourself the question: "Are you ready to sacrifice one disease for the sake of another?" What is the reason for such an opinion and how is jellied meat useful and harmful?

Jellied meat properties

Aspic is a protein-rich product. Proteins are made from meat and animal bones. And they have the same benefits for human bones and joints. As the ancestors said: "Wedge wedge".

In addition to protein, jellied meat contains a powerful element - collagen. Its action is very well known in the fight against aging of skin tissues. Since it has the ability to restore cells, make them more elastic and elastic, this element is necessary not only for skin cells, but also for joints and bones. After all, if the joints begin to lose their elasticity, and the bones are worn out, then this will cause a lot of painful sensations.

This delicious dish contains vitamins such as A, P, C, B, and especially those varieties that do not disappear when exposed to temperature. Of the trace elements, there are such rare substances as copper, rubidium, boron, vanadium, aluminum and phosphorus.

Aspic for joints is considered an excellent remedy. Most often it is prepared from different meat or chicken parts. And on a note, the medicine for arthrosis is made precisely from dried and ground bones, ligaments, joints and cartilage of animals.

Contraindications

The benefits and harms of aspic are comparable. Unfortunately, we cannot say that this dish is only beneficial. Aspic for arthrosis is an excellent remedy. Healthy people should not be afraid to use this joint remedy. But, in equal measure, it can harm other organs that already have some problems.

To a large extent, this product consists of animal fats and carbohydrates. This means that the product is difficult for the gastrointestinal tract:

• Fat tends to be digested and assimilated for a very long time. The mixture of bones, cartilage and other things requires more stomach acid for its processing. This causes a lot of work of the stomach, which can negatively affect gastrointestinal diseases.
• A heavy product also carries a serious load for the liver. And the stress of this organ affects the work of the gallbladder and spleen. As a result, the processes of stone formation and the slowing down of the work of the ducts can intensify. For people with liver problems, it is best not to lean on this dish.
• Aspic is rich in calories, which can lead to the formation of new fat cells in the body. This contributes to weight gain, which is contraindicated in obesity. In such cases, jellied meat is not very useful.
• The dish also contains a large percentage of cholesterol. This negatively affects the work of the cardiovascular system. The danger is for those who have problems and diseases in this area.

Of course, the benefits and harms of jellied meat are determined by the amount of food taken and its composition.

Chicken, and especially chicken leg jelly, is good for joints and almost does not harm the rest of the organs. While beef is the hardest to digest and can harm people with the above problems, especially if you consume large bones. Low-fat pork is healthier for the ligaments, it contains most of the collagen. However, it is rich in cholesterol.

Collagen, which is so necessary for the joints, is found in the jelly itself from the jellied meat. Regular jelly (namely gelatin) will be similar in properties. It also prevents the loss of elasticity of the ligaments, but at the same time it is not so fatty and high-calorie.

The least harmless (not counting chicken) consequences for the body will be fish jelly. It will replace all heavy meat fats, but at the same time will be rich in light protein. It also contains Omega-3 fat, which helps to synthesize elements that remove pain and inflammation in the treatment of joints.

Recipes

If you are still sure that using jellied meat for your body will be of one benefit and harm to you is insignificant, then you need to learn more about its preparation.

Most often, this dish is prepared from the remains of chicken or meat carcasses, bones, cartilage, ears, tails, chicken legs and wings, heads, offal, etc. The whole point is a systematic, long cooking over low heat. With such a thermal effect, vitamins will remain in the composition, and the solids will disintegrate.

The meat will separate from the bones, they, in turn, will boil down all the nutrients, and the cartilage and ligaments will become very soft. By the way, it is advised to use cartilaginous bones, they have more collagen and they are boiled down so much that they will not need to be thrown away. All this broth is considered the most useful in the whole dish. It should become viscous without the addition of gelatin and freeze in the refrigerator itself.

Prepare the dish for more than 5 hours in a 1: 2 ratio with water, over low heat so that the water does not evaporate. Seasonings are sprinkled an hour before readiness. Next, inedible leftovers are removed, and the rest is allowed to brew in the refrigerator.

It should be understood that during the cooking process, some of the collagen is nevertheless destroyed, but the amount that remains is quite enough. The substance strengthens cartilage tissue, protects bones from destruction, and gives elasticity to joints. If you add jellied meat to the menu, using it at least once a week, the cartilaginous tissue will cease to wear out quickly, the joints will not lose their mobility and will serve a person much longer.

3. In addition, growth hormone is in the broth from the paws. It is he who is sometimes accused by doctors of the development of certain types of inflammation. And the hormone, among other things, can lead to tissue hypertrophy (if there is such a predisposition in the body).

Sometimes there is no need to prepare tinctures and ointments, apply compresses, you can use your favorite dish and supply your joints with everything you need.
