Here’s a delicious lunch prep or serving platter idea that’s prepared with aspic! Aspic is otherwise known as a meat jelly made from a liquid broth and natural gelatins that dissolve into the stock. And it’s really healthy!

Aspic is a great source of collagen, which is one of the primary building blocks of your bones, hair, skin, muscles, and joints. This is a great way to naturally incorporate this protein into your diet and support our health. 

This is a very simple and easy recipe, that only takes more than an hour because it needs to set and harden in the fridge. It’s great to make on Sunday to prep for lunches in the week ahead or the night before for a party or gathering as a platter.

The recipe involves boiling chicken meat and pork bones in water over low heat for an hour along with carrot, celery, onion, and a conservative amount of spices. Then when it’s all done, a whole head of minced garlic is added along with gelatin to puree with the chicken and pork meat. The puree is added to a mold and set into the fridge to harden into a deli-style meat perfect for slicing into a sandwich or incorporating into a platter.

You can also replace chicken with pork, liver, veal, smoked meats or even fish! It will taste incredible.
