Chicken Prosciutto Mortadella Artichoke Terrine Food

CHICKEN AND PORK TERRINE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pan and gently cook the onion for 10min until softened. Carefully add the brandy, if using, and bubble for 30sec, then tip mixture into a large bowl and set aside to cool.
• Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Use about 10 of the rashers to line the inside of a 900g (2lb) loaf tin with bacon, leaving excess hanging over the sides. To the cooled onion bowl, add chopped chicken, pork, pistachios, cranberries, nutmeg, thyme leaves and plenty of seasoning (it needs a fair amount of salt). Mix together.
• Press the mixture into the loaf tin, levelling the surface. Fold any overhanging bacon over the filling; cover with remaining rashers. Press down again to make sure the surface is smooth. Lightly oil a small sheet of aluminium foil and press on top of the loaf tin. Wrap tin well in a further double layer of foil, then put into a roasting tin.
• Half-fill the roasting tin with boiling water from the kettle and carefully transfer to oven. Cook for 1½hr until the terrine feels solid when pressed. Lift tin out of the water. Unwrap the outer layers of foil (leaving the greased foil layer in place). Carefully pour out any liquid from the terrine (this will set into a jelly if not done). Leave to cool.
• Sit the loaf tin on a baking tray and sit three tins of tomatoes (or similar) on top of the terrine (resting on the foil layer). Chill overnight.
• To serve, preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Unmould the terrine on to a baking tray and lightly brush with oil. Brown in the oven for 20-25min (if you don't want the terrine browned, leave this step out). Serve the terrine warm or at room temperature in slices with fruit chutney and toast.

CHICKEN, PROSCIUTTO, MORTADELLA & ARTICHOKE TERRINE

Steps:

• Chicken -- First thing to do is to pound out the chicken. Place the chicken between plastic wrap and pound until thin.You can use a rolling pin, meat mallet or even the bottom of a heavy pan. Anything will work.
• The chicken will be used for two layers of the loaf so I try to cut the chicken in 2-3 smaller pieces so the chicken will fit to make the layers.
• Dipping Station -- Layout out your dipping station -- 1) well beaten eggs in one pie pan or small flat dish; 2) parmesan, seasoned salt, pepper, cayenne, and lemon zest in the other.
• Pan -- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, bottom and sides and spray with non-stick spray. I use scissors and cut down the corners of the parchment paper to make it fit easier.
• Layer 1: Chicken - Dip 1/2 of the chicken in the egg and then in the parmesan mixture and place in the bottom of the loaf pan. Fit the pieces in well and tight so it covers the entire bottom of the pan.
• Layer 2: Mortadella and Proscuitto - Top the chicken with the mortadella slices and then 1/2 of the proscuitto.
• Layer 3: Artichokes - Slice the artichokes in 1-3 pieces, depending on the size. Then dip 1/2 of the artichokes in the egg and then in the parmesan and place on top of the mortadella and proscuitto.
• Layer 4: Fresh basil leaves -- All of the basil leaves.
• Layer 5: Chicken Again - Same as above. Dip the remaining chicken in the egg and then parmesan and put on top of the artichokes.
• Layer 6: Salami - Top the chicken with all of the salami and then the remaining proscuitto.
• Layer 7: Artichokes - Last layer. Once again, dip in the egg and then parmesan and top the salami and proscuitto.
• All Done -- Cover with a piece of parchment paper and here is the key - it needs to be weighted down. Take a brick and cover it with aluminum foil. That really works best. Place on top of the parchment paper and now you are ready to bake. If you don't have a brick, just open a bag of beans and pour them on a sheet of foil and wrap up. Just something heavy to weigh the terrine down.
• Bake -- Put the loaf pan in another pan, like a 13x9, filled 1/2 way with warm water. Then bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours on the middle shelf. The water will keep the terrine from getting too brown and let it cook slower. Remove and let cool completely, cover well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• Aioli -- Mix all the ingredients together. Mayonnaise, lemon, herbs and garlic. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This can be made ahead of time.
• Serve -- Remove the plastic wrap and the top parchment paper from the terrine, then put a plate on top and flip over. Remove the parchment paper and then thin slice. You can serve this for a buffet too, it is so pretty to serve. I like to serve the slices over a bed a greens and top with the garlic herb aioli. ENJOY this great unique dish!

• Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper, and place a layer of chicken breasts on the bottom of the pan. Cover the chicken with a layer of mortadella, salami, or prosciutto. Cover the ham with artichoke hearts, then with basil leaves, using all of the leaves. Repeat the layers of chicken, ham, and artichoke hearts. Cover with parchment paper or foil. Place a heavy weight on top of the terrine while baking to compress the layers. Place the loaf pan in a larger pan and pour in water to make a water bath. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) - CHICKEN TERRINE

Steps:

• Mix the olive oil with the coriander.
• Slice the eggplants lengthwise in approx ½ inch thick slices.
• Brush only one side of the eggplant slices with the olive oil mixture, starting with the oiled side and preferably using a grill pan, sear the slices, pushing them down with a spatula, turn over and cook until they are colored and softened but still firm.
• Repeat with all the slices, then set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Finely chop the chicken breasts or let the food processor do this for you, it should be chopped, not a paste.
• Mix with all the other ingredients and seasonings.
• Line a one quart non-stick loaf tin with the eggplant slices, start on the bottom laying the slices lengthwise, then vertically up the sides so that you have 2 to 3 inches hanging over the sides.
• If you don't have a non-stick loaf tin, line first with parchment paper.
• Pour the chicken mixture into the loaf tin, even out and fold back the eggplant slices to cover.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes until firm, check half way to make sure it does not get too dark, otherwise cover with aluminum foil.
• Remove from the oven, leave to cool in the tin.
• The terrine can now be transferred to the fridge until ready to serve.
• Run a knife around the tin, turn the terrine out, cut in slices and serve with some sour cream.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED CHICKEN & LEEK TERRINE

Steps:

• Gently cook the leeks for 15 mins in 2 tbsp olive oil until soft, then set aside to cool. In the remaining oil, fry the mushrooms with the garlic and thyme for 2 mins, then set aside to cool. Soak the gelatine in cold water, then heat the stock. Dissolve the gelatine in the stock, season, then set aside. Gather all the ingredients so you have them to hand when you start to assemble the terrine.
• Line a terrine dish or loaf tin with cling flim. Line with slices of prosciutto so that they overlap to cover the base and sides, and overhang the edges.
• Wet the bottom of the dish with a drizzle of stock. Arrange a single layer of chicken so that everything is even - don't worry about any gaps - then pour over a little more stock.
• Scatter over a layer of mushrooms (discarding the garlic and thyme). Season with salt and pepper, then moisten again with a little more stock.
• Add more chicken followed by a layer of leeks, another layer of chicken, then the herbs. Drizzle stock between every layer and season with salt and pepper as you go. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up or the terrine is full to the brim. Finish with a final scattering of herbs, a last ladleful of stock, then tap the dish down a few times so that the stock gets into all the gaps.
• Fold the prosciutto over to encase the terrine. Fold the cling film over and press down gently. Sit the terrine in a dish to catch any juices. Lay a tray on top, weigh it down with a can and chill overnight. Twenty mins before serving, remove the tray. Put the terrine in the freezer to firm. Just before serving, lift it out of the dish. Wrap it tightly in more cling film.
• Carefully slice the terrine, still wrapped in its cling film. Remove the cling film and place a slice in the centre of each plate. Arrange chunks of spiced pear (recipe below) around terrine. Drizzle a little chicken poaching liquid around the plate, then drizzle with a tiny bit of oil. Neatly scatter a few baby salad leaves over the pear, then season the terrine with some sea salt and pepper before serving.

CHICKEN AND ARTICHOKE TERRINE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325 F. 2. In a small pan over medium heat, sweat the onions in the oil until translucent but not colored. Then add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Turn the heat off and set the mixture aside. 3. Soak the bread with the cream and beaten eggs for 5 minutes. Crush with your hands until you get a paste. 4. Add the bread mixture with the ground chicken, the thyme, the chives, the spices, the salt, the pepper and the parmesan and mix well with your hands until the mixture is homogeneous. Be vigorous. 5. Then, add the cubed chicken and the pistachios and mix well, making sure that the cubed chicken is not crushed in the process. Be more gentle this time around. Set this aside. 6. In another bowl, mix the artichokes, the olives, the egg, the parmesan, the pepper and mix well. Set aside. 7. Brush a bit of olive oil inside the terrine mold and line it with parchment paper. (The oil is used so that the paper adheres well). Line your mold with overlapping slices of prosciutto, letting the extra hang over the sides of the dish. 8. Start layering the ingredients: use ¼ of the chicken mixture at the bottom of the dish, then cover the chicken mixture with a thin layer of Mortadella (two slices are fine). Repeat this step another time. 9. Layer the artichoke mixture in the middle and cover with Mortadella. On top, put two other layers of chicken and Mortadella as before. 10. Cover the meat with two slices of prosciutto, cover with the hanging parchment paper and aluminum foil. Put the terrine in a roasting pan and pour around enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the terrine. Place in oven and cook for 1-1/2 hours. Remove from the water bath and cool completely. Place a brick on it and refrigerate overnight. Leave in the refrigerator at least 24 hours before devouring. It is better 72 hours after. 11. Cut big slices and serve with crostini.
