Preparation

  1. 1.
    Place the moose nose in a large pot and cover it with water. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the moose nose.
  2. 2.
    In the same pot, heat some oil and sauté the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic until they are softened.
  3. 3.
    Add the moose nose back to the pot along with bay leaves, black peppercorns, thyme, parsley, beef stock, and white wine. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4.
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 4-5 hours, or until the moose nose is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  5. 5.
    Remove the moose nose from the pot and let it cool slightly. Strain the cooking liquid and set it aside.
  6. 6.
    Once the moose nose is cool enough to handle, remove any excess fat and cartilage. Slice the moose nose into thin, bite-sized pieces.
  7. 7.
    Soften the gelatin sheets in cold water for a few minutes, then squeeze out any excess water. Dissolve the gelatin sheets in the reserved cooking liquid.
  8. 8.
    Arrange the sliced moose nose in a mold and pour the gelatin mixture over it, ensuring that the moose nose is fully covered.

    Refrigerate the mold for at least 6 hours, or until the gelatin is set.
