Racituri-Pifte (Jelled Pigs Feet)
Yield: 1 Servings
4 x Pigs feet
1 tb Salt
2 x Garlic cloves
Singe and thoroughly wash pigs feet. Place in pan with water to cover and
boil 15 min. Remove feet, rewash and place in pan, cover with 4 quarts
water and add salt. Boil slowly four hours or until meat falls off bones.
Skim off any foam that forms so broth remains clear.
Crush garlic and add to meat/water for last half hour of cooking. Remove
meat from bones if desired and strain juice over meat in flat plates. Put
in a cold place to jell. Serve sprinkled with sweet paprika or a little hot
pepper(I'd use dried cayenne or serrano, seeds an' all).
I've seen this served as a lunch with cheese & crackers and a ruby red
wine. Sounds ok to me!

the one above is a bit too simple
This one is another more close to reality:
Racituri (Jellied Pork Hocks)
2 lb pig’s feet and/or pork hocks
1 onion
1 tbsp pickling spice (or 8 peppercorns, 4 whole cloves, 4 whole allspice, 2 bay leaves,
½ tsp celery seed, ½ tsp mustard seed, ½ cinnamon stick, and
1 small dried hot red pepper)
Place meat in large pot. Add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer until meat falls off the bones. Skim the water periodically during the simmering process. Cool. Remove meat from the bones. Dice meat into ½-inch pieces and place in a glass or ceramic 8x8 inch dish. Strain the broth. Put the broth back in the pot and reduce it in volume by a half. This will ensure that the broth is concentrated enough to jell when added to the meat. Add 2 mashed garlic cloves, salt and pepper to taste to the broth and cook another 10 minutes. Pour broth over the meat. Refrigerate. When the racituri has jelled, scrape fat off the top. Cut in squares to serve.
Note: my mom added also egg and other kind of pork meat.
But I know that is not so easy to cook, the result must be jelly and not watery.
Romanian Piftele or chiftele or parjoale (meatballs):
here is a recipe with pictures:

There are also vegetarian piftele. Also there are meatballs used in soups when they are called perisoare.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU7p9
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
