rustic-meat-terrine

Full of flavor and texture, this pâtè is extremely versatile

Yield : Makes 8 appetizer servings
Prep Time : 30 mins
Cooking Time : 1½ hrs

Ingredients

  • 12 oz (350g) sliced bacon
  • 9 oz (250g) chicken livers, trimmed
  • 1 lb (450g) ground veal
  • 12 oz (300g) ground pork
  • 8 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup dry sherry
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp ground allspice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Special Equipment:

  • 6 cup terrine mold or loaf pan

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 6 cup terrine mold or loaf pan with the bacon slices, letting the ends of the bacon hang over the sides of the dish.

2. Pulse the chicken livers in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl. Add the veal, pork, butter, sherry, onion, garlic, oregano, and allspice and season well with salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until combined.

3. Transfer the meat mixture to the terrine mold and fold the bacon ends over the top. Cover tightly with the lid or aluminum foil. Place the dish in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish.

4. Bake for 1½ hours, until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 165°F (74°C). Transfer the terrine in its mold to a baking sheet. Replace the foil with a fresh sheet. Place another pan to fit inside the terrine, and fill with heavy cans of food. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Unmold, slice, and serve.

Notes

Good with slices of warm crusty bread or toast, and plenty of Dijon mustard and cornichon pickles.

Prepare ahead: After pressing, the unmolded terrine can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Freezing Information: can be frozen for up to 1 month.
