Ingredients:

4 chicken pieces
30 g gelatin
2 onions
3 carrots
5 garlic cloves
1 chilli pepper
150 ml water
Lovage/parsley (optional)
½ tsp all purpose seasoning
Salt
Ground black pepper

Preparation:

On medium heat, bring water with a sprinkle of salt to boil.
Add the chicken pieces, the carrots and onions.
Boil on low heat and once they’re ready, turn the heat off and remove them from the liquid.
Allow them to cool down.
Follow the instructions on the pack for the gelatine. If you use a different brand than me, skip the next step! I used Dr. Oetker.
Dissolve the gelatine in 150 ml of water, in a pot and bring to boil. Once the gelatine is dissolved, remove from heat.
Add the gelatine in the liquid you boiled the meat in.
Season with salt and sliced garlic, add in the sliced chillies, all purpose seasoning and keep mixing the liquid until it starts cooling down.
Remove the meat from the bones, ,remove the skin and pull the meat apart, then divide the meat in 4 containers.
Divide the sliced carrots as well and add on top of the meat.
Divide the liquid as well and pour over the meat and the carrots.
Cool down, until is jellied.
Place in the fridge for approx. 1 hour, or until fully set and serve cold.

Tips:

If you are into presentable and decorated dishes, you can use instead of plain containers, jelly moulds or cake moulds, to get any desired shape and you can garnish with parsley/lovage!
It’s delicious served with sprinkled smoked paprika!
