Men's idiot kitchen: keet

Immediately to the case: from the whole New Year's table, of all approaching traditions the most important is a glass of ice vodka and to eat asion. This is a real Russian culinary poetry. A trembling frozen beef broth with streaks of meat is abundantly lubricated with horseradish and mustard. Vodka Ice Fire spreads through the veins, and it is thrown from above that this is unpleasant looking something - and that's it, and you can look at the face of Santa Claus without fear. But you will say a sweetheart: I'm crazy, all night are cooking? And the chill you will not have, as a last resort, is clean gelatin from cooking. Not! We will go different ways. It will work the principle "Who, if not me." So go to the store and buy a beef knee. It must be the knee, with a joint, but also with some meat. Ask the seller, it will help. Throw this knee into a saucepan with water and cook very, very long. First you need to give a broth boiling, remove the foam (and take another ten minutes to shoot it), then put on the smallest fire and forget about it for seven hours. This is the most wonderful time in the life of a man. Which seven hours can be happy to do anything, read the book, watch movies, play computer games, and answer all the questions: I'm busy, I cook the chore. After seven hours, the broth must be salted a little stronger than the usual broth, add black peas (yes, it is in all our recipes, but what to do), onions, bay leaf, carrot and celery root, and cook another two. Well, everything is actually. Bouillon give a little cool, all vegetables and grass from it from it to the damn mother, get the bone and separate meat from it (it can be folded with his hands, in general without a knife), put it in the form in which the colder will freeze (in the old Soviet families it is Usually done in enameled photographic cuvettes, but we do not insist), squeeze several garlic cloves there, pour the broth and ... and most importantly: let it be frozen. If the street is not very cold, you can put on the balcony. If there is a hell of frost, then the broth will freeze, and it will not freeze, so there is a better cuvette in the refrigerator. Some heretics believe that the keet must be covered so that it is transparent, and for this use egg protein, but we consider it a dish by the personification of the mother of the raw land, and the Russian nature, it must be unwashed outside, but beautiful inside. If you prayed hard, then after 11 about hours after the start of work, you will have that the most Russian snack that foreigners are so diligently, they are more afraid of sala. It's small: buy the cheapest (and the most divent) mustard and grated horseradish, and put vodka in the freezer. Happy New Year, cute!
