Preparation

for 4 servings

Step

1

Of 2

Prepare the Terrine

Using a food processor, blend parsley and basil into a cream, adding 3 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.  

Still using the food processor for a second step, place all of the desired herbs in your mixture above and process until well mixed and blended thoroughly.  Use a clean container for this second step.

In a large mixing bowl, work the ricotta through a sieve with a wooden spoon.  You should wind up with a creamy, smooth consistency for the ricotta.  Add grated Parmesan or Grana cheese, salt & pepper to taste, and mixed herb mixture. Incorporate egg into the mixture, being sure to combine all ingredients well.

Line a loaf tin with dampened wax paper, and evenly distribute ricotta mixture into the tin.


 

Step

Of 2

Cook the Terrine

Bake at 180C for about 50 minutes, or until surface is swollen, the top is golden-brown, and the loaf has settled.  Let cool slightly before taking the terrine out of the tin.

Finely slice the endive.  In a sauté pan, lightly cook endive in oil, for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add garlic at the end. Distribute the endive with its cooking juice over the ricotta and sprinkle with finely chopped herbs. 
Serve room temperature.

A different kind of recipe, fun and unexpected!

This terrine was the first attempt I made at making a vegetarian meal from start to finish. I was not expecting it to taste so amazing. I will definitely be making it again for my family and friends!
