    45 g fine sea salt, 6 g white pepper, 6 g garlic powder, 3 g quatre épices spice blend, 3 g freshly grated nutmeg
  • Line two terrine molds with strips of fatback; if you don’t have bard, simply brush the molds with sunflower or peanut oil.
  • Shape the mixture into balls, then slap each one into the mold to expel any air pockets.
  • Pack the mixture firmly to the rim of the molds.
  • If you have caul fat, lay it over the top; otherwise, moisten the surface and smooth it down well.
  • Preheat the oven to 150 °C.
  • Place the terrines in a bain-marie and bake at 110 °C until the internal temperature reaches 72 °C.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • The next day, pour a thin layer of aspic over the terrine and garnish as desired.

Notes

To purge the liver, soak it in lightly salted water or milk for about 30 minutes, replacing the liquid as needed to draw out any remaining blood and impurities.
This base recipe is endlessly adaptable: swap in other meats or fold in additions like raisins, nuts, or mushrooms, keeping the rest of the ratios the same.
