Party of 5, a french inspired family dinner. PART 1

Whenever my mum, sisters & B.I.L come over for dins I love to try something new and tasty using all the evil ingredients I don't use in my every day cooking (butter, oil, full cream dairy...)

So when the wolves descended I fed them a well planned and executed meal.
We started with home made tomato foccacia and 3 cheese foccacia, accompanied by home made pork terrine, cornichons, olives, pickled onions and mustard.

The terrine recipe was thanks to Jamie Oliver who has a surprisingly simple recipe for this rustic french staple.
I added coarsely minced speck (about 80g) and 1 large chicken liver to 500g of pork mince.
I then added a small bunch of chopped thyme, parsley and 1/4 tsp of ground cloves, 1/2 a grated nutmeg, along with 2 finely chiffonaded bay leaves, salt and pepper to taste along with handful of breadcrumbs.

The ingredients need to be mixed by hand and packed into small ceramic dishes, like large ramekin's. Then place the ramekins into a deep baking dish and pour in enough boiling water to come half-way up the edges of the ramekins, making a bain-marie.

put the dish into a preheated oven ,160 degrees for 1 hour, (the terrine is cooked when you can insert a knife into the dish and the juices run clear) then remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the terrines to cool in bain-marie. When the water is cool you can put the terrine in the fridge, just cover with cling wrap.
