To prepare aspic we will need the following products:

  • broth made from fish. For aspic, one liter will be enough;
  • 100 grams of gelatin;
  • carp carcass for 1-1.5 kilograms;
  • one parsley root;
  • celery root – 1 piece;
  • a few pieces of bay leaf;
  • onion - one medium-sized head;
  • carrot - one medium-sized root vegetable;
  • to add flavor, you can use a couple of pinches of ground black pepper;
  • allspice peas - 5-7 pieces;
  • lingonberries – 50 grams (for decoration and adding sourness);
  • 3 eggs.


Before cooking, prepare all the ingredients and cook the broth

All products are prepared, you can begin the main process. The main thing is to strictly follow all the cooking recommendations, and also do not forget to decorate the aspic correctly.

With proper decoration, this appetizer will become the most important one on the table, attracting the attention of guests.

But still, the first thing you need to do is prepare the carp carcass. You need to remove all scales from its surface, also clean the areas under the fins. Next, rinse the fish well in cold water. We cut the belly and carefully remove all the insides. We thoroughly rinse the inside with cool water, remove the film and any remaining entrails.

Cooking features

The carp is cleaned, washed well, now you can begin the main preparation. At the second stage, you need to cut the carp and boil it, this process should be performed as follows:

  • We cut off the head, fins, and tail from the carcass.
  • Fill the container with water, lay out the head, tail and fins. Place on the fire and leave to boil.
  • Meanwhile, we cut the carcass. It needs to be cut into medium pieces, selecting large bones from them.
  • When foam appears on the surface of the water, it will need to be removed.
  • Place a whole onion, parsley root, celery root, a few bay leaves into a container and season with pepper.
  • Then reduce the heat and boil for about 20 minutes. When boiling, foam will appear on the surface and will need to be removed.
  • After this, we take out the head, fins, tail and bulb.
  • Place carp pieces into the broth and leave to boil until cooked.


At the initial stage of cooking, you should carefully cut the carp

While the fish is cooking, you can prepare the vegetables. The carrots should be boiled; it is advisable to cut them into several parts so that the root vegetable cooks faster. It is better to add a little salt to the water in which the root vegetable will be boiled. After about 30 minutes, the carrots will be ready; they should be removed onto a flat plate and cooled.

Cooled root vegetables can be cut into circles or beautiful flowers can be made from the circles for decoration.

Boil the eggs until ready. They should turn out cool, so after boiling they need to be boiled for about 15 minutes. Next, they need to be cooled and shelled. Cut the eggs into 4 parts.

Formation of aspic

For the aspic, you should prepare a beautiful deep form; you can take several clear glass salad bowls. Place the finished fish from the broth on the bottom of the molds. On top of the fish you need to place quarters of boiled eggs, if you are using two containers, then put 4 pieces of boiled eggs in each. We also lay out circles and flowers from boiled carrots and several lingonberries.

Pour gelatin into the broth and put it on the fire. Boil the broth until the gelatin is completely dissolved, be sure to stir during the boiling process. Then remove the broth from the heat and pour it into containers with carp and other ingredients. The molds should be filled to the top with liquid.

After the broth becomes warm, place the molds in a cool place or refrigerator. The aspic must be kept there until it hardens completely; this process will take at least 8 hours. As soon as the aspic is ready, it can be removed from the refrigerator and served.


Before forming the aspic, prepare the broth by adding gelatin
