Pork, chicken, pistachio and apricot terrine
This classic terrine combines seasoned pork, chicken breast, and chicken liver wrapped in savory bacon. Sweet dried apricots and crunchy pistachios provide a delightful contrast of texture and flavor in every slice. Serve it chilled with fresh crusty bread and pickles as an impressive appetizer.

Instructions
11 steps- 1
Preheat the oven to 160C/320/Gas 2.
- 2
Using a sharp knife, cut the skin of the sausages and squeeze out the sausage meat filling.
- 3
Place the sausage meat into a large bowl, add the apricots, pistachio nuts and parsley and mix together well. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to correct the taste. (To do this, fry a small amount of the mixture in a frying pan for 1-2 minutes, or until completely cooked, then taste to check the seasoning.)
- 4
Place the rashers of streaky bacon along the edge of a loaf tin, overlapping the bacon in the base a little, but leaving about 3cm/1¼in of the rashers draping over the sides of the tin.
- 5
Divide the sausage meat mixture into three portions. Place one portion into the bottom of the loaf tin to cover the bacon on the base.
- 6
Add several slices of the chicken to cover the sausage meat, then top with the chicken livers.
- 7
Add another layer of sausage meat, followed by a layer of chicken breasts and a layer of chicken livers. When the tin is full, fold over the draping bacon to cover the filling.
- 8
Lightly brush a piece of aluminium foil with olive oil and fold over the top of the loaf tin, tucking around the edges to seal.
- 9
Place the loaf tin into a bain-marie half-full of hot water and place into the oven to cook for about 1¼ - 1½ hours, or until completely cooked through.
- 10
Remove the loaf tin from the oven and allow to cool completely before placing in the fridge to chill.
- 11
To serve, turn the bacon-wrapped terrine out of the tin and cut into slices. Place a slice onto a plate and serve with beetroot, frisée and rocket alongside.
