Pork Terrine is a true show of craftsmanship. It's a labor intensive effort that requires skill, which is why you often don't see it on menus. It's a shame because it's one of the most elegant things one could ever serve. Ours is glazed with a little black walnut mustard and cassis confiture.

Terrine Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5-10 minutes until softened. Once softened, remove and squeeze out excess water.

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the fresh thyme and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Mix the Meat Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, diced fatback, pork liver, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, cognac, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Gelatin

    Dissolve the softened gelatin in a small amount of warm water and mix it into the meat mixture until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Pack the Mixture

    Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan or terrine mold, pressing down firmly to eliminate air pockets. Cover tightly with plastic wrap.

  6. 6

    Cook the Terrine

    Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Place the terrine in a water bath and bake for approximately 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).

  7. 7

    Cool and Chill

    Remove the terrine from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight for best results.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Unmold the terrine and slice it to serve. Pair with Dijon mustard and cassis jam for a perfect accompaniment.
