## Ingredients

- 800 g pork belly mince
- 400 g pork mince
- 250 g chicken liver, cleaned, diced 1cm
- 4 tsp cooking salt
- 1 3/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1/2 tsp curing salt (optional)
- 15 g unsalted butter
- 1 whole eschalot, finely diced
- 2 whole egg
- 2 whole egg yolk
- 1/2 cup thickened cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted pistachio

## Instructions

1. Mix the pork marinade ingredients together well with your hands and refrigerate overnight.
2. Saute eschalots in the butter until softened.
3. Put in stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment along with the marinated pork and remaining terrine ingredients, then mix on low for 1 minute until well combined.
4. Pack into a loaf pan using a slamming technique to remove air bubbles by grabbing handfuls of the mixture and throwing them into the pan, then spreading it out.
5. Place the pan in a larger tray and fill with boiling water halfway up the side of the pan.
6. Bake for 25 minutes at 220°C.
7. Cover the terrine with foil, reduce the oven to 170°C and cook until the center reaches 68°C.
8. Rest for 2 hours, refrigerate overnight, slice, and serve at room temperature.

## Equipment

- meat thermometer
- stand mixer
- loaf pan
- skillet

## Tips

- Do not attempt without a meat thermometer.
- Use cognac for the brandy if possible; non-alcoholic white wine is a suitable substitute.
- If not using a stand mixer, mix well by hand. Do not use a food processor as it will puree the meat.
- Curing salt keeps the cut face of slices pink, but is not strictly necessary for home cooking.
- Serve with bread, Dijon mustard, and pickles.
- Some Asian butchers sell fatty pork mince ready-to-go.
