Preparation method

How do you make this?

TERRINE: Briefly mix the chicken thigh meat with the lard, breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper, pepper, salt, and pistachios. (Save some pistachios for garnish) Add the other ingredients and mix briefly on a low setting, adding the livers and the minced meat last.

Lay the slices of bacon in a cross in the jars. (the ends hang over the edge of the jar) Divide the mixture into the jars and press down well. Press the remaining pistachios into it.

Fold the ends of the bacon over the top.

Place the bay leaves on top and brush them with some olive oil. (to prevent burning)

If you do not want a baked crust, cover each jar with the lid of the jar or with aluminum foil and place in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes.

Remove the lid or aluminum foil and let it color for another 10 minutes if you want a nice crust.

In the baking oven, you can bake this either in a bain-marie or simply on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven at a lower temperature, for example when you have just emptied the oven but it is still warm, for about half an hour.

Tips

For a stronger liver flavor: Bake the livers in a well -oiled pan together with the finely chopped onion and let it color. Deglaze with the beer, and add to the mixture.
