Steps

  • Blend half the pork, unsmoked bacon, liver, and garlic in a food processor until smooth.
  • Pulse in the remaining meat until it reaches a roughly chopped consistency.
  • Stir in the orange juice, zest, brandy, herbs, and crushed spices.
  • Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for one to three hours.
  • Stretch the smoked bacon rashers with a knife and use them to line the terrine mould.
  • Preheat your oven to 150°C.
  • Layer a third of the pâté mixture into the mould and top with half the cornichons.
  • Add another third of the mixture, the remaining cornichons, and finish with the final meat layer.
  • Fold the overlapping bacon over the top and cover the mould with a lid or foil.
  • Place the mould in a roasting tin filled with 2cm of just-boiled water.
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 90 minutes until the internal temperature is hot.
  • Remove from the water bath, apply heavy weights to the surface, and chill overnight before slicing.
