Terrine Maison
This is a good, rich, non-dietetic traditional French terrine. It takes
quite a time to make, but is really worth the effort. It goes very well
with fresh French Bread and a red wine preferably a good robust wine,
taken on a picnic, if the law permits.
By the way "terrine" refers to both the coarse meat pat and the vessel
it's cooked in - typically a rectangular ceramic pot with a lid - fairly
deep.
Ingredients
1 lb. fresh pork fat
11 2 lb. lean pork
11 2 lb. beef liver
1 2 lean veal
1 3 cup chopped shallots
1 2 tsp chopped garlic
1 2 lb. chicken livers
1 4 cup brandy
3 Tb heavy cream
2 tsp lemon juice
1 egg
2 Tb flour
1 2 tsp allspice
11 2 Tb salt
Pepper to taste
1 4 lb. smoked tongue/ham
3 4 lb. fresh pork fat
Bay leaves
Method
Grind the meat (the first four items - pork fat, pork, liver, veal)
together so it is fine, but not too mushy.
Saut the shallots and garlic in butter until soft but not brown. Add to
the ground meat.
Saut the livers in the butter until stiff, but not cooked through. Deglaze
the pan with the brandy and reduce slightly. Set aside.
Beat the cream, lemon juice, egg, flour and spices into the meat mix. Beat
the mix until it is light and fluffy. Cook a small amount of the mix and
check the seasoning. As it contains pork, do not taste the mixture raw! Cut
the tongue or ham into small cubes and fold into the meat mix.
Slice the fresh pork fat into slices 1 8 inch thick. Line a covered terrine
with the pork fat. Put half the meat mixture into the prepared terrine.
Then a layer of chicken livers. Add the rest of the meat. Cover with more
pork fat. Decorate with bay leaves. Cover with foil and the terrine lid.
Bake for 2 hours at 350 in pan containing water about half way up the
terrine. Check from time to time to ensure that there is enough water. When
done, replace the foil with new foil. Press under a weight for several
hours and allow the terrine to cool. Refrigerate with the weight still in
place.
Hope you enjoy!
