Kholodets Day
November 7 · Level 1 · #2234 of 2238
Kholodets Day is an informal celebration of a savoury meat jelly that takes its time on the stove before being served cold. For many families, the dish brings back memories of festive tables and recipes handed down through generations.
How it is celebrated: home cooks prepare a batch, swap recipes and compare choices of meat and seasoning. Mustard or horseradish often accompanies it, adding a sharp kick to each bite.
Kholodets can set without any added gelatine. Long cooking converts collagen from connective tissue into gelatine within the broth itself.
