I've used leaf gelatine, which is well worth tracking down as it gives a much finer result. |
Add a layer of tomatoes, some capers and some fish, add gelatine preparation and put in the fridge for 10 min. |
These are made by applying to the face a soft material such as wax, plaster, or, in modern times, agar, a vegetable gelatine. |
When cool, mix the gelatine into the mixture slowly with the vanilla essence. |
Stir in gelatine until it has melted, cool slightly then quickly stir in the yoghurt mixture. |
The bones contribute albumen and collagen which convert to gelatine and give a good stew its gravitas. |
