- 225 g mixed game
- 4 tablespoon (60 ml) apple juice
- 4 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) pepper
Instructions
- Cut the mixed game into elongated pieces and combine them with half of the salt and pepper and the apple juice in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and let them soak.
- Remove the skins from the shallots and garlic, then chop them finely.
- Lay the smoked beef strips on a flat surface and gently stretch them with the flat side of a knife.

- Wash the chicken liver, dry it with a paper towel, then cut it into pieces and process in a blender until finely chopped.
- In a large bowl, combine the processed liver, beef mince, chopped shallots, and garlic with the dried herbs and the remaining salt and pepper.
- Mix everything thoroughly, then divide this mixture roughly into three equal parts.
- Press one-third of the mixture into the terrine, ensuring it’s even and compact.
- Layer half of the marinated game pieces and apple juice over this base.
- Repeat the layering process and finish with the last portion of the liver mixture.
- Fold the smoked beef over the top of the terrine and place the bay leaves on the surface.
- Cover the terrine with aluminum foil, sealing the edges, and then place the lid on top.
- Position the terrine inside a large roasting pan and pour boiling water around it until it reaches halfway up the sides.
- Set the oven to 160°C (310°F) and bake for 2 hours.
- Take off the lid and foil and allow it to cool for 10 minutes to let the fat rise. Spoon off the excess fat.
