Preparation
- Place stock, wine, onion, tied herbs, peppercorns and celery in a pot. Add spareribs, and simmer 1 hour. Remove meat and reserve for another use. Strain broth into a container and refrigerate overnight.
- Dice half the ham, including all fat. In a food processor, pulse ham, garlic, shallots and parsley just to mince. Season with salt and pepper. Cut remaining ham into matchsticks about 1/4-inch wide and an inch long.
- Remove all fat and sediment from broth. You should have about 2 cups. Soften gelatin in 1/3 cup cold water. Place broth in a saucepan, add gelatin and simmer just to dissolve. Mix half the broth with minced ham and spread a third of this mixture in a 6-cup loaf pan. Add half the ham sticks, arranging them across width of pan. Cover with some remaining broth. Repeat, ending with a layer of minced mixture. Pour all remaining broth on top. Cover with foil.
- Heat oven to 275 degrees. Cook 40 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours. Unmold and serve in slices.
