How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 350
  • Lightly grease a 4 or 5x10" terrine.
  • Line the terrine with bacon so the ends hang over the sides.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan, and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is soft.
  • In a bowl, mix the onion with the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, brandy, thyme, and parsley.
  • Fry a small piece and taste to make sure seasoning is correct.
  • Spoon the mixture into the lined terrine, pressing down firmly.
  • Fold bacon over the top, cover with aluminum fouil, and place the terrine in a baking dish.
  • Place enough cold water in the baking dish to come halfway up the side o the terrine. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced.
  • Remove the terrine from the baking dish and pour off the juices.
  • Cover with foil, and place cardboard on the top, cut to fit. Weigh down with cans (or anything else) on top of the cardboard to compress the terrine.
  • Refrigerate overnight.
  • Cut into slices to serve.

    OH!!! Does this ever work! The first terrine I ever made was an old, complicated French recipe -- and it just didn't work out (chicken livers, rabbit meat, and much less-common stuff). Thank you for a WONDERFUL alternative! (Works perfectly with my Florentine Mayonnaise!)
