I know, I know, I KNOW! Sounds ICKY but let me tell you, YUMMY!!!! This is great source of protein for cold season, settles sick tummies, and is just plain delicious for a snackie!
1 lg Crockpot
2 qts Water
3 lbs beef feet (calves feet)
2 lg onion
1 head garlic
5 bay leaves
1 Tblsp Kosher Salt
2 Tsp Thyme
Place calves feet into the crock pot, cover with water turn on high. Allow to cook for 2 hours. Add onions and garlic both of which have been finely chopped, and then the spices. Allow to cook four more hours. Don’t Peek! This needs to just cook for a total of six hours! Turn off your crock pot and allow to cool. Dip out the meat and bones. Clean all the meat off the bones the finely mince the meat; add the mean to the broth. Chuck the bones! (Please please PLEASE do NOT give the bones to the dogs. They have been cooked and can splinter and HURT your doggie friends!) Pour cooling aspic into a lovely round bowl and place in the fridge. Stir the aspic once an hour until the meat is evenly suspended. Then allow to set overnight. Adding minced sweet potato or carrots when you add the onions is a great variation adding nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
Serve on crackers of your choice. YUM!
