In this post, I’ll show you how to make your own hamrolls in aspic. You can achieve a super tasty result with little effort.
You can serve the hamrolls in aspic however you like. They are ideal for a buffet or snack platter.
You can go wild with the filling. I use asparagus and creamed horseradish. But you can also use boiled potatoes or carrots, for example.
If you like brawn, I have another pork roast in aspic, bratwurstsülze or brawn in a plate recipe for you.
In the post I use Bloom 240 aspic powder, but you can also cook out pigs feet and pork shank. These cuts have a lot of collagen. This makes the aspic firm on its own after cooling. You can find instructions for this in my german Süzle recipe.
Here you can find the complete hamrolls in aspic recipe as a video or to read through.
Have fun and good luck making it yourself!
