VEGETABLE TERRINE



Vegetable Terrine image

Provided by Laura Calder

Categories     bake,French,side,Summer,vegetables

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 large beet greens or ruby swiss chard
Salt and pepper
4 oz cauliflower florets
4 oz green peas
4 oz carrots
4 oz red pepper, seeded
1 ½ oz grated Parmesan cheese
5 eggs
2 ¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Salt it and blanch the beet greens, one minute. Remove the leaves and immediately rinse under ice cold water to set their colour. Gently lay on tea towels, and pat dry with another tea towel. They should not have any water on them for the next step.
  • Line a buttered terrine mould with a piece of parchment. Neatly lay in the beet leaves to cover the bottom and sides completely. They should dangle over the sides a bit so that they can be folded over the completed terrine later.
  • Cook the cauliflower, peas, and carrots, one at a time in the same pot of boiling salted water, until very tender. Remove them and immediately rinse in ice-cold water to preserve their colour. Drain well. Roast the pepper until very soft, peel, seed, and cut into pieces.
  • This terrine has five layers, so work one vegetable at a time. First put the cauliflower in the blender with one egg and 1/4 cup/60 ml cream. Pulse to a smooth purée. Pour into a small bowl and set aside. Rinse the blender and proceed with the remaining vegetables in the same manner, pouring their purées off into bowls and setting aside. Put the final egg and 1/4 cup/60 ml cream in the blender with the Parmesan cheese and purée to blend. Season each mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  • If you pour one mixture in on top of the other into the terrine, they will run together, so spoon them in instead. Start with the carrot, spooning it into the terrine and smoothing it out to the edges. Next, spoon over the cauliflower, followed by the peas. Spoon the Parmesan mixture over evenly, and end with the red pepper. If one leaks through to another layer, fear not: some think it is even more beautiful that way and in any case it will taste delicious. Fold the overhanging beet leaves over top to cover. Bake in a water bath at 350°F/180°C until set, a good hour.
  • Remove the terrine from the bath. Let it cool completely on a wire rack, and, if possible, chill in the refrigerator overnight so it sets well. At least half an hour before serving, turn the terrine out onto a cutting board or platter for serving in slices.

WINTER VEGETABLE TERRINE

Beets, carrots and delicata squash are bound by a flavorful gelatin mixture and layered with fresh chives.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 6h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 medium beets (about 10 ounces), trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8- to 10-ounce delicata squash
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus more, for the pan
2 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
10 black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
2 leeks, white and light green parts, trimmed, sliced and well rinsed
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
4 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 sprigs fresh thyme
Two 1/4-ounce envelopes or 4 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
2/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives (about 1 large bunch)
4 cups mache or other baby lettuce
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Fleur de sel, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Divide the beets between 2 sheets of heavy-duty foil and wrap to enclose. Put the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let the beets steam in the foil 15 minutes, then peel and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cool.
  • Meanwhile, trim the squash, then halve lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices, leaving the skin intact. Toss the squash with the vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a baking sheet. Roast, flipping once, until tender, about 15 minutes. Cool.
  • Put the carrots in a saucepan with the peppercorns, 1 3/4 teaspoons salt and 3 1/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the carrots to a bowl, reserving the pan and the cooking liquid. Add the wine, leeks, celery and shallot to the saucepan and bring back to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Add the parsley and thyme and simmer 10 minutes. Pour the vegetable stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a 1-quart glass measure or heatproof bowl; discard the solids. If the stock measures more than 2 1/2 cups, return to the saucepan and boil until reduced to 2 1/2 cups. If there is less, add water. Season the stock with salt and pepper.
  • Stir the gelatin into 1/4 cup cold water and let stand 1 minute to soften, then add the gelatin to the hot stock, stirring until dissolved. Set aside.
  • Very lightly oil a 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch terrine or glass loaf pan with vegetable oil, then line the long sides and bottom with a sheet of plastic wrap, smoothing out any wrinkles and allowing at least 2 inches of overhang on each side. Pour about 1/3 cup of the gelatin-stock mixture into the terrine and quick-chill in the freezer until just set, about 10 minutes.
  • Arrange the beets in one layer over the gelatin layer then sprinkle with one-third of the chives. Arrange the carrots on top, leaving some space between them for the gelatin to fill and hold the vegetables together. Sprinkle half the remaining chives over the carrots, then top with a layer of squash. Sprinkle the remaining chives over the squash. Stir the remaining gelatin-stock mixture again, reserve 1/2 cup at room temperature, then slowly pour the remainder into the terrine, pushing down the vegetables if necessary to just submerge in the gelatin mixture. Chill, uncovered, until the top is set, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • If the reserved 1/2 cup gelatin mixture has begun to set, heat until just liquefied but not hot, then pour over the set terrine. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  • To serve, run a thin knife along the short sides of the terrine, then invert the terrine onto a cutting board, gently pulling on the plastic overhang to help unmold; discard the plastic. With a very sharp knife, carefully cut the terrine into 8 slices. Using a metal spatula to hold the outside of each slice steady, transfer 1 or 2 slices to each plate. Place the mache next to the terrine slices. Drizzle the olive oil over the mache and around the plates and then sprinkle the plates with fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper. Serve.

HERBED OXTAIL TERRINE



Herbed Oxtail Terrine image

Categories     Beef     Garlic     Onion     Tomato     Appetizer     Carrot     Red Wine     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8 generously

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the terrine
5 pounds meaty oxtails, trimmed of excess fat
1/4 cup vegetable oil
9 cups beef broth
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
1 14- to 16-ounce can tomatoes including the juice
2 onions, chopped coarse
2 carrots, chopped coarse
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 1/3 cups chopped scallion
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the sauce:
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons drained bottled capers, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
2 teaspoons drained bottled horseradish, or to taste
soft-leafed lettuce for serving
bottled pickled onions and cornichons (French sour gherkins, available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets) for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the terrine:
  • Pat the oxtails dry, season them with salt and pepper, and in a heavy kettle brown them in batches in the oil over moderately high heat, transferring them as they are browned to a platter or shallow baking pan. To the kettle add the broth, the wine, the tomatoes with the juice, the onions, the carrots, the garlic, the bay leaf, and the oxtails with any juices that have accumulated on the platter, bring the liquid to a boil, and braise the oxtails, covered, in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven for 4 hours. Transfer the oxtails with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving the liquid, let them cool, and remove the meat, discarding the bones and fat. Strain the reserved cooking liquid through a sieve into a large bowl. In another large bowl stir together the meat, the scallion, the parsley, the lemon juice, the pepper, and 2 cups of the cooking liquid until mixture is combined well, reserving the remaining cooking liquid. Rinse a loaf pan, 9 by 5 by 3 inches, with cold water (do not dry it), spoon the oxtail mixture into it, and add some of the reserved cooking liquid if necessary to just cover the oxtail mixture. Chill the terrine, covered, for 4 hours, or until it is set. The terrine may be prepared up to this point 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Let the terrine stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edge of the terrine to loosen it, dip the pan in hot water for 20 seconds, and invert a chilled platter over it. Invert the terrine with a sharp rap into the platter and with an electric knife or a very sharp knife cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • Make the sauce:
  • In a bowl whisk together the sour cream, the mayonnaise, the capers, the mustard, and the horseradish until the sauce is combined well.
  • Line each of 8 plates with some of the lettuce, arrange a slice of the terrine on the lettuce, and spoon a dollop of the sauce over a corner of the slice. Garnish each serving with some of the pickled onions and cornichons and serve the remaining sauce separately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the process.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables: The fresher and better quality your vegetables are, the tastier your terrine will be. Look for vegetables that are in season and at their peak of flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vegetables in your terrine. The more variety you have, the more complex and flavorful your dish will be.
  • Season your vegetables well: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Vegetables can handle a lot of flavor, so don't be afraid to add herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook your vegetables until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite: You don't want your vegetables to be mushy, so make sure you cook them just until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a good-quality terrine mold: A good-quality terrine mold will help you create a smooth, even terrine. If you don't have a terrine mold, you can use a loaf pan or even a plastic container.
  • Press the terrine firmly: Once you have assembled your terrine, make sure you press it down firmly to help it hold its shape. You can use a weight or even a heavy book to help you press the terrine.
  • Chill the terrine thoroughly before serving: This will help the terrine to set and firm up. You can chill the terrine for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Conclusion:

Vegetable terrine is a delicious, elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a vegetable terrine that will impress your family and friends.
