Pork and Chestnut Terrine

Pork & Chestnut Terrine

听

This is excellent for a buffet lunch or supper. 听As you cut a slice, the chestnuts鈥� sweet taste & distinctive texture make a good contrast to the rich, sagey meat. It鈥檚 lovely eaten with bread, but I think it鈥檚 even better with small salted baked potatoes. Making it a couple of days in advance improves the taste. 听It stores very well 鈥� for up to a week in the fridge. 听If you leave out the bacon and听garlic, it is also perfect for freezing.

Makes 2 terrine dishes

Prep time 20-30 mins

Cooking time 2hrs

Ingredients

500g very fresh pig's liver

250g pork belly

1 small onion

2 garlic cloves, crushed

10-15 vacuum packed cooked chestnuts, left whole

50g fresh breadcrumbs

1 tbsp chopped sage

1/2 wine glass of port or brandy

Good pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Warm water

5 rashers rindless streaky bacon to line the dishes, 'stretched' with the back of a knife (optional), or butter or lard, for greasing.

听

Method

Peel any membrane from the liver & trim out any tough ventricles (Nige says this is a job for your butcher!) Put the pork belly, onion听and liver through a mincer, using the coarse plate, or pulse together in a food processor. Don't chop it too finely as you want your听p芒t茅听to have some texture. 听 Transfer to a bowl. 听Add the garlic, chestnuts, breadcrumbs, sage, port or brandy & nutmeg, & mix well. 听Season with salt & black pepper. Fill a deep baking tray with warm water to a third of the way up the side. 听Preheat the oven to 170C/gas mark 3 & place the tray in the oven while it heats up (about 10 mins). Line 2 1litre oven-proof dishes or terrine dishes with bacon, if you are using it, or simply grease them with a bit of butter or lard. Divide the mixture between them & cover with greased aluminium foil. 听Place the dishes in the water-filled baking tray & cook in the centre of the oven for about 2hrs. The p芒t茅 will be cooked when it comes away from the side of the dish & is firm to the touch. Allow to cool in the dish, then refrigerate & turn out when thoroughly chilled.
