Ingredients:
- 2 large ham hocks, soaked in water for 24 hours
- 1 pig's trotter
- 1 tbsp black treacle
- 1 tbsp veg stock
- Coarse black pepper
- 1 tbsp capers
- 5 mini gherkins

- 1 tsp English mustard
- 5 anchovy fillets
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 50ml-75ml olive oil
How to cook:
- In a large saucepan place the ham hocks and pig trotter and cover with water. Bring to the boil on a high heat and skim off the scum. Then turn down to a simmer, add the star anise and veg stock and simmer for around three to three and a half hours, or until the meat starts to fall from the bone. Remove from the meat pan and allow to rest.
- When cool enough to handle, pick the meat from the bones with your fingers, throwing away all fat and sinew. Place the shredded meat in a bowl and season with pepper.
- Strain the liquor and reduce by half. Allow to cool.
- In a food processor blend the remaining ingredients (except the olive oil) until smooth, the pour in the oil until the mixture forms a paste which just drops from a spoon.
- In a loaf tin lined with clingfilm start laying the ham lengthways until you cannot see the bottom. Drizzle with the green sauce, mix then repeat the process in layers until the tin is full. Press firmly on the mix.
- Pour in the reduced stock tapping the sides until full. Cover with the overhanging cling film and chill in the fridge overnight.

Terrine of Turkey and Bacon with Walnuts and Cranberry Confit

This is just perfect for the party season, as it will feed a lot of people as a first course and is very little trouble to make. Serve with crusty bread cut into thick slices, then toasted. The sharpness of Confit of Cranberries (see recipe below), and the richness of the terrine work wonderfully well together.

Ingredients:
- 1 lb 2 oz (500 g) extra-lean minced turkey
- 15 juniper berries
- 4 fl oz (120 ml) dry white wine
- 1 fl oz (25 ml) brandy
- salt
- 2 x 130 g packs cubetti pancetta or the same quantity of bacon pieces
- 1 x 100 g pack walnut pieces
- 1 tablespoon groundnut or olive oil
- 1 lb (450 g) boneless pork streaky rashers, rinds removed
- 9 oz (250 g) frozen chicken livers, defrosted, cleaned and rinsed
- ¼ level teaspoon ground mace
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 20 black peppercorns
How to cook:
- First heat the oil in a frying pan and, when it's really hot, fry the walnuts until they are golden brown – this should take about 1 minute.
- Then, remove them to a plate and allow to cool. Now you need to chop the pork rashers roughly and add them to the bowl of a processor, along with the chicken livers. Process until coarsely chopped into pieces resembling the turkey mince. Remove them to a large bowl, then add the turkey mince and pancetta (or bacon), along with 1 rounded teaspoon of salt, the mace, garlic and walnuts.
- Next, crush the peppercorns and juniper berries lightly with a pestle and mortar and add these as well. Next, pour the wine and brandy over, then you really have to give everything a very thorough mixing. You can do this with a large fork, or even your hands but, either way, make sure that everything is thoroughly mixed together and all the flavours are evenly distributed. Then, cover the bowl with a cloth and leave it in a cool place for a couple of hours.
- When you are ready to cook the terrine, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 2, 300°F (150°C), and boil the kettle. Pack the mixture into the loaf tin and place it in a roasting tin. Pop the roasting tin in the oven on the middle shelf, then pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the loaf tin. Now bake the terrine, uncovered, for about 2½ hours. When it is cooked it will have shrunk away from the sides of the tin and there will be a lot of fat swimming around. All you do is remove it from the oven but leave the fat. Don't worry – you are not going to have to eat it, but it is necessary because, as the terrine cools down, this surrounding fat will keep it moist.
- Then, as soon as it is completely cold, place a double strip of foil across the top, followed by a piece of stiff card, and weight it down. If you have scale weights, these will be ideal. If not, you can use tins of tomatoes or something similar. This is essential, as it packs the terrine closely together, making it very easy to slice. Pop it in the fridge, weights and all, and leave it there until you need to serve it. To serve the terrine, loosen it all the way around the edges with a palette knife and turn it out on to a carving board.
- It will look very messy at this stage, but all you do is scrape off all the fat and jelly surrounding it, wipe with kitchen paper, then cut it into slices and serve with the toasted bread and cranberry confit.
Smoked Ham Hock Terrine

Yields: 8 servings
Number of ingredients: 15
Number of ingredients: 15
Ingredients:
- 2 pieces of smoked ham hock (about 4 pounds, 2 kilograms)
- 1 2-inch size piece of peeled ginger
- 1 6 cloves of garlic
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 4 pieces star anise
- 1 bay leaf a few pieces of orange rind
- 1 cup brown sugar (200 grams)
- 1 cup soya sauce (250 millilitres)
- 2 cups mirin wine (250 millilitres)
- ¼ cup sherry vinegar (60 millilitres)
- 5 sheets of gelatine
- 1 cup pearl onions
- 1 Granny Smith apple
- 1 jalapeno chilli diced & seeded
- a few drops champagne vinegar
How to cook:
- In a large non-reactive pot, put the ham hocks into enough cold water to cover. Bring the pan to a simmer over a medium heat and skim off any impurities that rise to surface. Cook the ham hock for an hour, then add the ginger garlic, soya, mirin, sherry vinegar, cinnamon stick, star anise, brown sugar, bay leaf, orange peel and cook for a further 2 hours or until meat is tender. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
- Remove the meat from the cooking liquid and then strain it. Transfer 2 cups of the strained broth into a small pot. Add the gelatine sheets and stir over a low heat until the gelatine dissolves. Once dissolved, remove the pan from the heat.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pearl onions for 2 minutes. Drain them, peel and cut in halves. Set aside
- Dice the apple and saut it with the jalapeno in a small frying pan with butter until the mixture begins to caramelize, about 7 minutes. Add a few drops of champagne vinegar and set aside.
- Remove the tough skin from the ham hocks and discard it. Dice the meats and combine them with the apple mixture and the onions. Season the meat.
- Line a terrine mold with plastic wrap, put the meat mixture into the terrine, pressing it down. Then pour over the reserved gelatine broth and tap the terrine against a hard surface a few times to get rid of any air pockets. Put the terrine in the fridge and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours before serving. Serve with sauce Gribiche.
Ham Hock Terrine

Terrine is a dish very similar to pate, cooked to tender perfection in a mold called — you guessed it —- a terrine. This version uses pork hocks to infuse rich, firm gelatin into a pork stock. Next, the terrine is layered with shredded meat, reduced stock, sweet peppers, pickles, and herbs, then chilled until firm. The result? A hearty, comforting pork terrine perfect for any charcuterie board.

- Line a 2-pound (8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 -inch/22 x 11 x 6 cm) loaf pan with a double layer of plastic wrap, making sure there is enough of the wrap overhanging the edges to cover the top of the terrine.
- Layer the reduced stock, shredded meat, gherkin, roasted red pepper, carrot, and parsley into the lined pan for a neat presentation.
