- Makes: 1 serving (623 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free, Gluten-free, High protein

Ingredients
- 140 g Veal shank, raw (meat weight)
- 250 g Water
- 20 g Onions, raw
- 20 g Carrots, raw
- 0.1 g Bay leaves
- 0.3 g Allspice, whole
- 0.2 g White peppercorns
- 1 g Salt
- 1.5 g Gelatin
- 150 g Potatoes, raw
- 40 g Beets, pickled
Method
- Put the veal shank in a pot with the water, bring it to the boil and skim off the foam carefully.
- Add the onion, carrot, bay leaf, allspice, white peppercorns and salt, cover and simmer gently for 2-3 hours, until the meat falls from the bone.
- Lift out the meat, strain the stock into a clean pan and boil it down by about half. Soak the gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes, squeeze it out and dissolve it in the hot stock; it should taste well seasoned, as it is eaten cold.
- Discard the bones, gristle and spices, and chop the meat into small pieces.
- Put the meat in a loaf tin or bowl rinsed in cold water, pour over enough stock to just cover it and stir.
- Cover and chill overnight, at least 8 hours, until firmly set.
- Boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until tender. Turn out the sylta, cut it into slices and serve cold with the hot potatoes and pickled beetroot.
