1. Soften the gelatine in cold water, preferably in a low, rectangular container, so it will stay well. Then let’s prepare the pan to melt it, by heating it a liter of water with the addition of sparkling wine and vinegar.

3. Peel the boiled egg and cut it sliced. We slice the long carrot and, with the stencil (or by hand), we cut each slice a drop shape. Each will become then the petal of a flower peel and we also slice the potatoes.
4. Cut the chicken into small pieces and the diced ham. As soon as the jelly will have solidified, let’s settle on a slice of egg, surrounding it with slices of carrot, like petals.
5. We form the stem with the green beans of our flower. We play all the decoration with washers of potato, so as to keep the design firm that we made.

7. After about two hours, we remove from the fridge the mold and fix it upside down, on a serving plate. Let’s put a cloth over it hot, so as to facilitate detachment dell’aspic.
8. We make aspic with mixed salad, seasoned with oil, salt and pepper. Serve it with a sauce composed of flavored mayonnaise with balsamic and diluted vinegar with a little water.
