Pork Sausage Terrine Recipes

HOMEMADE PORK SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. Shape into eight 4-in. patties. In a skillet over medium heat, fry patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned or until no longer pink in the center.

PORK TERRINE

Steps:

• Put the pork, garlic, thyme and brandy in a bowl, cover and leave to marinate for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. Heat the oven to 180c/fan 160c/gas 4 and butter a terrine mould or loaf tin.
• Starting with the base and sides, line the mould with strips of bacon making sure they are slightly overlapping and leave the ends hanging over the edge. This will be the top when you turn it out so do it as neatly as you can. Line the ends of the mould.
• Break up the sausage meat with a fork then put it in the bowl with the marinated pork, sage, chives and olives and season well. mix throughly. Fry a small piece of the mix and check seasoning. Add more if it needs it.
• Fill the lined dish with half of the pork mixture, pressing it down into the corners.
• Arrange the cornichons in 3 rows down the centre.
• Pack the remaining pork on top and then flatten and stretch the bacon over so the top is neatly covered. Trim any ends. cover with buttered foil and wrap the whole terrine in a double layer of clingfilm.
• Put the terrine in a roasting tin, half fill with boiling water and bake for 1 hour. Leave to cool completely then chill overnight. For a firmer texture press the terrine as it chills using a board with some tins stacked on top.
• Release the terrine by unwrapping then dipping the dish briefly in hot water and turning it out onto a plate or board. Serve with more cornichons.

PORK, APRICOT AND PISTACHIO TERRINE

Steps:

• Put the pork, garlic, 1 thyme sprig and the brandy in a bowl, cover and leave to marinate overnight in the fridge.
• Heat the oven to 180c/fan 160c/gas 4. Butter a 1kg terrine mould or loaf tin, put the remaining sprig of thyme in the bottom and line it with overlapping strips of bacon, leaving any extra hanging over the edge. Loosen the sausage meat with a fork, add it to the bowl with the marinated pork and mix well. Stir through the parsley, chives and pistachios and season well. Pinch off a small amount and fry until cooked. Taste and add more seasoning to the mix if needed.
• Pack the terrine with half of the pork mixture and lay the apricots in a row down the centre. Pack the remaining pork on top, flatten and stretch over the bacon. Cover with buttered foil and wrap the whole terrine in a double layer of clingfilm.
• Put the terrine in a roasting tin half filled with boiling water and bake for 1 hour. Cool and chill overnight. You can press the terrine as it cools in the fridge using a board with a couple of tins on top. This will give a firmer texture. release the terrine by dipping it briefly in hot water and turning it out onto a plate. There will be some jelly around the terrine, which you can either leave on or scrape off. Serve with cornichons.

EASY PORK SAUSAGE AND ORANGE TERRINE

Steps:

• NOTE: Make this dish the day before, or even 2 days before you want to serve it: it improves on standing.
• Pre-heat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
• Put the pork sausage meat in a bowl, then add the rest of the ingredients except the bacon. Mix well.
• Using a medium bread tin or terrine, grease lightly, then line it with the rashers of streaky bacon.
• Spoon in the pork sausage meat mixture, pressing in lightly, and smooth with the back of a spoon.
• Fold over any excess streaky bacon rashers over the top of the terrine.
• Bake for 1 hour, or until slightly risen and firm. Let it cool to warm. Don't pour off fats and liquid now, as much will be reabsorbed into the terrine. (You can discard extra fat when you un-mould it later)
• Using a cleaned clay brick, wrap it in 2 thickness's of foil and put on the terrine to weigh it down. When cold, keep in fridge overnight. (You can also use kitchen weights or a large, heavy tin)
• To serve, un-mould and garnish to taste, serve with mustard, pickles, chutney, salad leaves, crusty bread and tomatoes.
