Millegusti Terrine

17/11/2023

The millegusti terrine is a versatile preparation that can include various flavors and ingredients, just as the name suggests. It varies according to personal preferences and what you have in the pantry. Here is a basic recipe for a savory terrine that you can customize to your liking:

Ingredients

  • 350 g of creamy cheese (such as Philadelphia)
  • 100 g of soft goat cheese
  • 100 g of diced cooked ham
  • 50 g of sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 50 g of pitted green olives
  • 2 tablespoons of capers in salt
  • Fresh aromatic herbs (basil, parsley, chives)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Rye bread or other type to accompany

Preparation

  1. Start by preparing the ingredients: rinse the capers to remove excess salt and finely chop them together with the aromatic herbs, cut the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces and slice the olives.
  2. Take a large bowl and mix the creamy cheese with the goat cheese until you get a homogeneous mixture.
  3. Add the cooked ham, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, capers and chopped aromatic herbs to the cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
  4. Line a plumcake mold (or a terrine mold) with plastic wrap, leaving the wrap overhanging the sides so you can close it over the terrine later.
  5. Pour the mixture into the mold and press it well with a spoon to eliminate any air bubbles and to give the terrine a compact shape.
  6. Close the plastic wrap over the terrine and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, better if overnight, so it firms up.
  7. When ready to serve, invert the terrine onto a serving plate and remove the plastic wrap.
  8. Serve with slices of toasted rye bread or the bread of your choice.

The millegusti terrine is a dish that lends itself to numerous variations, so you can replace the cheeses with others to your taste and add ingredients like chopped walnuts, pieces of smoked salmon or grilled vegetables.

It can be an excellent idea for a refined appetizer or a single dish for a buffet. The important thing is to balance the flavors and textures harmoniously. Enjoy your personalized millegusti terrine!
