    1. Wash the knuckle and beef well and put them in a pot, adding the whole onion and carrot. 2. Once it comes to a boil, skim off the foam with a slotted spoon. Simmer over low heat for several hours. You can tell it's done when the meat pulls easily off the bones and a drop of the broth feels sticky between your fingers. Add the salt and dry spices. 3. Strain the broth through a sieve and pull the meat apart into fibers. 4. Spread the meat in the bottom of your containers and pour the broth over it. I try to skim all the fat off the surface of the broth with a spoon. 5. Refrigerate the aspic for several hours until set.
