Country Pork And Pistachio Terrine
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 onion (3/4 lb.), peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed or minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds ground lean pork
- 2 large eggs
- About 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shelled salted roasted pistachios
- 1 can (10 oz.) condensed beef consomme
- 1 envelope (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
- 2 fresh or dried bay leaves
- 10 to 15 black peppercorns
- In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, stir butter, onion, and garlic often until onion is limp, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in thyme, coriander, allspice, and white pepper. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat pork, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and flour until well blended. Add milk and onion mixture; beat until blended. Stir in pistachios.
- Spoon the meat mixture into an oiled 8- to 9-cup terrine or deep casserole, or a 5- by 9-inch loaf pan. Spread mixture level; seal with foil or casserole cover.
- Bake in a 350u0b0 oven until a thermometer inserted in center of terrine reaches 155u0b0 (or terrine is no longer pink in center; cut to test), about 1 hour. Uncover and let cool at least 1 hour. Cover and chill until cold, at least 3 hours, or up to 1 day. Scrape off and discard any solid fat from meat.
- Pour 1/4 cup consomme into a 1- to 2-quart pan. Add gelatin and stir mixture over medium-low heat until gelatin is dissolved, about 2 minutes, then stir in remaining consomme. Pour over terrine. Rinse and dry bay leaves and lay on terrine; sprinkle evenly with peppercorns. Cover and chill until consomme is firm, at least 1 1/2 hours.
- Slice terrine crosswise in casserole; use a wide spatula to lift out slices. Add salt to taste.
