VEGETABLE TERRINE IN BRIOCHE
Is this a lot of work? Yes--but it's worth it. The end result is simply beautiful and tastes wonderful. Please note that this is a kind of basic recipe--it is NOT highly spiced--it is pretty much the classic French terrine. You can have fun with this--using other meats, vegetables, herbs--adding cheese or spice. This classic form is worth a try, though. P4 has posted Julia Child's recipe for brioche which is, I think, the best one and the one I use. Recipe #51546. It is traditional to fill the cold terrine with aspic (Madeira aspic in this case) if needed. Bergy has an aspic recipe posted which would work just fine. Recipe #67693.

Steps:
- Dice or grind the chicken and place it in the bowl of a food processor and process.
- While the machine is running, add the egg whits and then the cream and the brandy in a steady stream. (You have now made a mousseline.).
- Season the mousseline with nutmeg, salt and pepper and poach a small amount to test for seasoning; adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Transfer to a metal mixing bowl in an ice bath.
- Separately blanch the carrots and broccoli; drain and blot dry on a paper towel.
- Saute the mushrooms in the oil; when soft, remove from the pan, drain them and chill them.
- In the same pan, saute the bell papper and leek till just softened; remove from the stove and add the herbs.
- Fold the carrot, bell pepper, leek and herbs into the mousseline.
- Roll out the brioche dough to about 1/8" (3 millimeters) thick and refrigerate until well chilled.
- Line a buttered pate mold (12 x 4 x 3 inches or 30 x 10 x 7.5 cm)with the chilled brioche, reserving the excess to cover the top and for garnish.
- Fill the mold one fourth full of mousseline.
- Layer the mushrooms over the mousseline and then cover them with another layer of mousseline, followed by the broccoli.
- Repeat, finishing with a last layer of mousseline.
- Fold the brioche dough over the top and brush with beaten egg yolks.
- Make a top from the remaining brioche and place it over the mold; cut a vent and insert a foil funnel into the vent.
- If you like, cut remaining brioche dough into decorative shapes such as leaves or braids for the edge and garnish the top.
- Mix the eggs and water and brush the top of the terrine.
- Bake at 425 degrees F. (220 degrees C.) until the internal temperature reaches 125 F (52C), approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool in the mold, then carefully turn it out and Voila!

FISH TERRINE

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Wash and coarsely chop leeks or onions. Over medium heat, add oil to a skillet and sauté leeks for several minutes, until they are no longer opaque. Add garlic and sauté for another minute. Pour in wine and reduce heat slightly to allow liquid to simmer. Stir occasionally until liquid is nearly gone. Place leeks in a food processor or blender and process to a coarse purée.
- Chop cooked shrimp into large dice. Flake poached fish with a fork. In a large bowl mix together tomato purée, cream, leeks, and fish. Taste and add salt and pepper, if desired. Stir in whole eggs and yolks. Add shrimp.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, and fold into fish mixture, adding one-third or half of the whites at a time.
- Grease a baking pan or mold and scatter or press bread crumbs along bottom. Pour fish mixture over bread crumbs. Bake in a hot water bath or bain marie for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Slide a knife along the sides to loosen terrine from mold. Place a plate on top and invert to coax the preparation to fall away from the mold.
- Sauce:
- Whisk mayonnaise, adding ketchup and mustard until all ingredients are blended. Stir in the piment d'Espelette and Armagnac or brandy. Spoon a bit of sauce over each serving of fish terrine.
- Author Marina Chang's tips:
- While the shrimp adds texture and interest to the final terrine, for those allergic to shrimp, this can be omitted without any loss of flavor.
- When placing the filled mold into the hot water bath in the oven, I find it is easiest and safest to first place the empty outer pan onto the oven rack, then place the filled mold into the pan, and lastly, carefully pour hot water into the outer pan until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the fish mold.
- On occasion, to avoid the extra steps of preparing the mold and the water bath, I have baked the terrine mixture in a pie crust, at the same oven temperature, until the crust is golden and the center is no longer liquid.
SCALLOP AND SOLE MOUSSELINES

Yield Makes 10 (2-oz) mousselines
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Rinse scallops and sole and pat dry, then purée in a food processor until very smooth. Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl, scraping bottom of sieve as needed.
- Set metal bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water, then add egg white to purée and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well combined. Add cream 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring after each addition until incorporated. (Mousseline should be the consistency of soft mashed potatoes; if it becomes runny or separates, stop adding cream and chill mixture, covered - still in ice bath - until firmer, about 30 minutes. Then continue adding cream.) Cover bowl and chill mixture 8 hours.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut out 10 rounds of parchment paper to line bottoms of molds and 10 rounds to line tops of molds, using 1 timbale mold as a guide. Brush molds with some melted butter and line bottom of each with a round of parchment. Chill molds 5 minutes (to set butter), then brush paper and sides of molds again with more melted butter.
- Stir salt, pepper, nutmeg, chives, and dill into mousseline, then divide among molds (they will be about two-thirds full). Rap molds on counter once or twice to settle mixture, then put a buttered parchment round, buttered side down, on surface of each mousseline. Put molds in an 8-inch square or round baking pan (2 inches deep) and bake in a hot water bath in oven until mousselines are just set and springy to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cool mousselines in molds on a rack until warm, about 10 minutes, then invert onto a large plate and pat dry with paper towels before transferring to soup bowls.

FRENCH COUNTRY-STYLE TERRINE
A terrine is a fancy meatloaf that is always served cold. Make it at least 3 days ahead so that the flavours can meld. The adventurous cook can use rabbit loins instead of chicken. From the LCBO's "Food and Drink" magazine.
