CLASSIC DUCK FOIE TERRINE
Steps:
- Three to five days ahead, preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Gently separate the lobes and pick out and discard large veins and greenish bile, if any. Try not to break the liver up. (If not at room temperature, it will fall apart.)
- Place first lobe in a terrine large enough to hold the foie gras snugly. Sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Splash on 1 tablespoon of the wine, layer the other lobe and any small pieces on top and add the remaining wine. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Cover the terrine snugly with plastic wrap.
- Line the bottom of a roasting pan with a kitchen towel and place the terrine on top. Pour in enough hot (not boiling) water to come an inch or so up the sides of the terrine. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the foie gras reaches 115 degrees. (The U.S.D.A. recommends an internal temperature of 160 degrees.)
- Remove from oven and take the terrine out of the roasting pan. Place a weight on top and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Pour off any juices that have accumulated and use a gravy separator to separate the juices from the fat. Pour the fat back on top of the terrine. Discard juices.
- Refrigerate 3 to 5 days. To serve, slice thinly or use for French kisses and Gascogne sushi. Terrine keeps, refrigerated, up to 15 days.

Steps:
- Cut the breast meat of the duck into 1/4-inch strips lengthwise. Slice the bacon similarly. Finely chop remaining meat, slice the liver into thin strips and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Place the duck breast and bacon in a bowl along with a generous amount of salt and pepper, the allspice, brandy, bay leaf and thyme leaves. Marinate the mixture for 24 hours in a cool place.
- Season the mushrooms and shallots with salt and pepper to taste. Saute them over medium heat in the butter until browned and soft. Set aside.
- In a bowl combine the ground pork, onion, reserved duck meat, liver and orange zest. Add the mushrooms and shallots, eggs and salt and pepper to taste. Work until thoroughly blended. Strain the brandy marinade and add to the ground meat mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 2-quart earthenware terrine with bacon strips. Arrange half of the ground meat mixture in an even layer in the bottom of the terrine. Cover with alternating strips of the marinated duck and bacon. Cover with the remaining ground meat. Press down more bacon strips on the top. Trim. Put on the lid.
- Place the terrine in a flameproof baking pan. Add enough water to cover the sides of the terrine by 2/3 and bring to a boil on top of the stove. When water boils place the pan in the oven and bake for 90 minutes. Remove and let cool.

Steps:
- In a skillet just large enough to hold the shallots in a single layer, combine the shallots, wine, stock, sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the liquid evaporates and the shallots are very tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Raise heat to medium high and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the shallots begin to brown and are coated with a thick syrup. Remove from heat and add the final tablespoon of butter, shaking the pan until it is melted and incorporated. Serve immediately.
