Cooking method
- Singe and scrape the chicken and pork feet clean, then wash them. Leave the outermost layer of skin on the onion to give the broth a lovely color. Peel the carrot. Put the meat in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, skimming off the foam. Lower the heat and cook for 3-4 hours, until the meat starts to fall off the bones and the broth turns sticky. About an hour before it's done, add salt and drop in the carrot, onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns. If you're making it in a pressure cooker instead, add the meat, vegetables, and spices all at once, cover with water, and cook for 40-50 minutes once it comes up to pressure. Once it's cooked, lift out all the meat and strain the liquid through cheesecloth. Pull the meat off the bones and chop it finely. Mince the garlic and finely chop the herbs. Arrange the meat in your molds, add the garlic and herbs, plus some boiled vegetables cut into decorative shapes if you like. Pour the broth over the top and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, skim the fat off the surface and serve with grated horseradish or mustard.
