Instructions
- I wash the apples. Wash and peel the carrots and onions. Note: apples must always keep their shape when cooking. I used Cortland in this recipe. Those varieties of apples that are used for making mashed potatoes are not suitable. Depending on the size of the apples, you may need more or less. It is important to put them in 1 layer, so that they are evenly prepared.
- Spread the chicken legs in 1 layer in a 5-liter saucepan. Pour 1.5 cups of water. After boiling, remove the foam. Add 1 bay leaf and black pepper to taste. Note: The chicken pieces may not be partially covered with water, which is normal, as the carrots and onions will partially occupy the space between the chicken shins and the water level will rise. The juice from apples and meat will also stand out.
- You can serve it with or without broth. It can be served both hot and cold. When cold, it can be served as a "soft jelly", since cooking chicken shins containing a lot of gelatin, in a minimum volume of liquid, allows the broth to harden a little. You can also take it with you on a picnic both hot (in a thermos) and cold without broth. From the recipe history. The only recipe that my mother-in-law managed to share with me at the time. Her recipe was slightly changed. In her original recipe: she fried onions separately (in vegetable oil) and chicken drumsticks on a mixture of vegetable and butter. This recipe is dedicated to her bright memory.
