Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Dry meat with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In large, heavy-bottom casserole, heat bacon grease till smoking; sear meat on all sides. Remove meat; pour out grease.

  2. Step 2

    Return meat to pan; add veal stock, wine, brandy, vegetables and spices. Cover; heat liquid to simmering over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to very low, cover and simmer for 3 hours, turning meat if it's not submerged.

  3. Step 3

    Remove meat to a bowl; let stand till cool.

  4. Step 4

    Trim fat from meat and cut meat into ½-inch dice. Oil two 1 ½-quart loaf pans and spread half of meat in each pan.

  5. Step 5

    Pour stock through a cheesecloth-lined strainer over a large bowl. Skim fat from stock.

  6. Step 6

    Place 1 cup water in a small saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften and heat over low heat until dissolved. Stir into stock. Add 2 tablespoons salt, the lemon juice, Worcestershire and Tabasco; stir well and pour over meat. Refrigerate till stock is set.

  7. Step 7

    To serve, remove fat from top of jellied stock and unmold each loaf onto a serving platter. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water. For hors d'oeuvres, cut into small squares. Serve on baguette slices with Creole mustard or homemade mayonnaise.
