- Place the beef and chicken in a large stockpot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil.
- Skim carefully, then add the carrots, parsley root, celery, onions studded with cloves, garlic and spices.
- Simmer gently for 2 hours, until the meat is very tender.
- Remove the meats and set them aside. Strain the stock through a fine sieve.
- Add the vinegar to the stock, adjust the salt and let it reduce for 10 minutes.
- Off the heat, stir in the gelatine previously softened in a little cold water.
- Cut the meats into small pieces and arrange them in moulds with the vegetable and egg garnish.
- Pour the lukewarm stock over the top, then leave to set in the fridge for 12 hours before unmoulding.
