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.

A cold treat for a summer lunch. A two day process, so plan ahead. Find asparagus, zucchini and beans that are fairly long, so they cover the layer.

Time P1DT1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 large swiss chard leaves
1 1/2 lbs carrots, cut into chunks
12 asparagus spears (find long ones)
2 small zucchini
16 green beans, trimmed
1 cup creme fraiche
salt and pepper, to taste
6 teaspoons gelatin powder
16 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chervil, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
1 small lemon, zest of
1 1/4 cups creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Dip the chard leaves in the boiling water and quickly remove carefully with a slotted spoon. Place them flat on a paper towel.
  • Add carrots to the boiling water and cook for 25 minutes, or until tender. Drain and cool.
  • Lightly oil an 8 x 2 3/4 x 3 1/2 inch terrine or loaf pan. Line with a layer of plastic wrap, leaving enough hanging over the sides to cover the top. Then line the pan with the chard leaves, making sure there are no gaps and leaving enough hanging over the sides to cover the top.
  • Trim the asparagus at the thicker end so they fit the length of the pan.
  • Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise, and then each half into four lengthwise.
  • Steam the asparagus, zucchini and green beans for 6 minutes, or until tender. Drain and refresh in cold water so they keep their color. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Puree carrots with 1 cup creme fraiche in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Put 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin. Let sit 5 minutes, then put bowl over a pan of simmering water until melted. Add to the carrot puree and mix well.
  • Spoon a quarter of the carrot puree into the terrine and smooth out. Arrange 6 asparagus spears on top, all pointing in the same direction. Arrange all of the zucchini on top in a flat layer. Add another quarter of the puree and smooth out. Add tomato halves, cut side up. Add another quarter of the puree and smooth. Arrange the remaining asparagus spears, all one direction, and top with green beans (beans can be layered widthwise so they cover layer completely. Top with remaining puree and smooth out. Fold the overhanging chard leaves and plastic wrap over top. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Fold back plastic wrap from top and unmold onto a plate and peel off plastic wrap.
  • To make sauce: Fold the herbs and lemon zest into the creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the terrine into 1-inch slices and serve with a dollop of the herb sauce on the side.
