Tips
- Note: We will be making the 7 layers and then arranging and baking them all in the oven. For the most part, step 2 of each layer will have the same exact instructions.
- You need a 35 cm terrine mould for this recipe.
Food safety
- Cook poultry until the thickest part reaches 74 °C / 165 °F (duck breast may be served pink at 57–60 °C if it is whole-muscle and from a trusted source).
- Cook minced meat through to 71 °C / 160 °F — no pink in the centre.
