Chicken and Pesto Terrine image

This surprisingly quick to prepare and flavoursome terrine is made with chicken mince, onions, garlic, peppers, basil, pinenuts and parmesan cheese. It can be served warm or at room temperature, so is great as finger food or for take-to-work lunches and picnics. This is yet another recipe I have adapted from one that I found on the Simply Great Recipes Club website. 750 grams = 11/2 pounds; 90 grams = approximately 31/2 ounces.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my terrine didn't turn out very well. It was a bit dry and the flavors were off.

This terrine was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.
