Step 4: Cooking
Place the terrine in the oven and cook for about 45 minutes. Keep a close eye on the cooking time; the terrine should be firm to the touch and lightly browned on top.
Tip: If you prefer a firmer texture, cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 5: Serving and Finishing
Allow the terrine to cool to room temperature if you are eating it cold. The next day, the flavors will be even more intense, and the slices will cut easily.
Serve cold, warm, or hot: Accompany with toasted country bread, pickles, and an endive salad with a touch of garlic for a perfect harmony.
Tip: A little juice will form on the surface at the end of cooking. You can remove it before serving.
Storage and Serving Instructions
Storage: Keep the terrine in the refrigerator, in its tightly covered terrine, for up to 3 days.
Serving: Cut into thick slices and serve with a green salad or a rustic side dish like warm potatoes.
