Terrine Ingredients

Serving Ingredients

Method

Terrine Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pork Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, diced pork fatback, finely chopped fennel, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Cognac and Eggs

    Stir in the Cognac (or brandy) and beaten eggs into the pork mixture until evenly incorporated.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a Terrine Dish

    Transfer the mixture to a greased terrine or loaf pan, pressing it down firmly to eliminate air pockets.

  5. 5

    Bake the Terrine

    Cover the terrine with foil and place it in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (water bath). Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).

  6. 6

    Cool and Refrigerate

    Once cooked, remove the terrine from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Serving Instructions

  1. 7

    Prepare Mustard Greens

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add the mustard greens and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 8

    Slice the Terrine

    Once the terrine is set, remove it from the mold and slice it into pieces.

  3. 9

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the sliced terrine on ciabatta bread, spread a thin layer of mustard on top, and add the sautéed mustard greens.

  4. 10

    Add Giardiniera

    Serve with giardiniera on the side for additional flavor.
