Reduce heat and simmer for several hours until the meat is tender and the broth is flavorful.

Let the broth cool slightly, then add gelatin according to package instructions, stirring until dissolved.

Chop the cooked pork meat into small pieces and mix with minced garlic and chopped parsley.

Pour a layer of broth into a mold, then add the meat mixture, followed by more broth to cover.

Refrigerate until set, typically overnight, until the jelly is firm.

To serve, unmold the jelly onto a platter and cut into slices.
