This coarse, sliceable terrine has all the appeal of a farmhouse pâté: tender ham hock, mustard, cooking liquor and a shape that improves overnight.
Serves: 6 people
Preparation time: 720 min
Ingredients
- Smoked ham hock – 1.2 kg
- Onion – 1, halved
- Carrot – 1
- Bay leaf – 1
- Peppercorns – 1 tsp
- Gelatine or reduced stock – as needed
- Wholegrain mustard – 2 tbsp
- Parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped
- Black pepper – to taste
Method
STEP 1
Put the ham hock in a pan with the onion, carrot, bay leaf and peppercorns. Cover with water, bring gently to a simmer and cook until the meat is very tender and coming away from the bone.
STEP 2
Lift the ham out and let it cool enough to handle. Strip the meat from the bone, discarding skin, bone and any tough bits. Reduce a little of the cooking liquid if it tastes weak.
STEP 3
Mix the shredded meat with mustard, parsley, black pepper and enough reduced stock or dissolved gelatine to help it hold together once chilled.
STEP 4
Pack the mixture tightly into a lined loaf tin or terrine mould, pressing it down firmly so there are no gaps. Cover and chill overnight with a small weight on top if you want neat slices.
