Ingredients

  • 12 oz (350g) sliced bacon
  • 9 oz (250g) chicken livers, trimmed
  • 1 lb (450g) ground veal
  • 12 oz (300g) ground pork
  • 8 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 cup terrine mold or loaf pan

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
  • Line a 6 cup terrine mold or loaf pan with the bacon slices, letting the ends of the bacon hang over the sides of the dish.
  • Pulse the chicken livers in a food processor until finely chopped.
  • Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add the veal, pork, butter, sherry, onion, garlic, oregano, and allspice and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Mix with your hands until combined.
  • Transfer the meat mixture to the terrine mold and fold the bacon ends over the top.
  • Cover tightly with the lid or aluminum foil.
  • Place the dish in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish.
  • Bake for 1 1/2 hours, until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 165F (74C).
  • Transfer the terrine in its mold to a baking sheet.
  • Replace the foil with a fresh sheet.
  • Place another pan to fit inside the terrine, and fill with heavy cans of food.
  • Refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Unmold, slice, and serve.
