Method
- 1 Soak the pork trotters and ham in cold water for 1 hour to reduce the saltiness, then rinse them.
- 2 Simmer pork trotters with white wine, carrots, shallots, garlic, and bay leaves for 2 hours until the meat separates from the bone.
- 3 Remove the meat and shred it into large pieces. Strain the broth through a sieve, then dissolve the soaked gelatin in the warm broth.
- 4 Mix the shredded meat with plenty of chopped parsley, pepper, and wine vinegar.
- 5 Arrange the meat in the mold, pour in enough broth to cover it, press gently, and refrigerate overnight to solidify into a block.
- 6 Remove from the mold, slice thickly, and serve with Dijon mustard and bread.
