Terrine Campagnarde

I made this recipe over the holidays with my father in law (papy chef) and had a blast.  The original recipe we based this one on was a but sketchy and the ingredients were a bit hard to source so we improvised a little bit.  For the record, out of the dozens of butchers in the Ottawa Gatineau region, the best suited for finding the goodies required for a good terrine would be the Glebe Meat Market (highly recomended). I will include the original recipe in the comments section should you be curious as to the source.

Recipe: Terrine Campagnarde

Summary: Contry Style Terrine

Ingredients

  • 50 ml Rum
  • 1 TBSP Sugar
  • 4 small to medium onions
  • 4 shallots
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • Olive Oil
  • 400 g (14 oz) of fresh pork belly
  • 300 g (10.5 oz) of boneless pork butt (the fattier the better)
  • 300 g (10.5 oz) pork or chicken liver (I by far prefer this recipe with chicken liver)
  • 2 Sprigs of Thyme
  • 5 Sprigs of curly parsley
  • 2 Eggs
  • 100 ml of heavy cream
  • 2 g Nutmeg or Allspice
  • 3 g Ground Pepper
  • 15 g Salt
  • Thinly cut fatback (enough to wrap 1 kg of meet)

Instructions

  1. Dissolve sugar in ¾ of the rum (reserve other ¼).
  2. Peel and roughly chop shallots, onions and garlic.
  3. Drizzle olive oil into hot frying pan and sauté chopped garlic, onions and shallots, add rum and sugar mixture and flambé. Reduce heat and caramelize mixture. Set mixture aside and let cool.
  4. Using the largest setting on your meat grinder, grind pork belly and pork butt, rough chop ½ of the chicken livers and sauté the other half in a bit of butter, salt and pepper (set aside). Rough chop the parsley and remove thyme from sprig. Thoroughly mix the rum that was set aside with herbs, salt, pepper and allspice with ground pork and uncooked chicken livers. Stir in onion mixture, egg and heavy cream.
  5. Line your terrine dish with fatback with enough overlap to cover meat as well, scoop mixture into terrine, cover with fatback and terrine cover.
  6. Cook in water bath (Bain Marie) for 2 hours at 180 degrees Celsius (350 f.)
  7. Let rest in refrigerator for 48 hours with weight over the terrine. Serve cold.
