Ingredients
- 3 spring onions
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 2 stems basil
- 260 g chicken liver
- 50 g butter
- 2 juniper berries
- 2 leaves gelatin
- 2 tbsp red port wine
- 0.5 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 80 ml whipping cream (30 %)
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tsp apricot jam
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 6 basil
- 8 juniper berries
Instructions
- 1. Wash the spring onions thoroughly and slice them into thin rings.
- 2. Wash the thyme, shake off excess water, and strip the small leaves from the stems.
- 3. Wash the basil, shake off excess water, and pluck the leaves from the stems.
- 4. Wash the liver, pat it dry with a kitchen towel, and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- 5. Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- 6. Fry the liver pieces, most of the spring onion rings (save one tablespoon for later), and the juniper berries in the pan for 4 to 5 minutes.
- 7. Ensure the liver remains slightly pink inside and is not fully cooked through.
- 8. Stir the prepared thyme and basil leaves into the frying mixture.
- 9. Soak the gelatin in a bowl of cold water until it becomes soft.
- 10. Place the warm liver mixture into a food processor and blend it into a smooth cream.
- 11. Heat the port wine and red wine vinegar in a small saucepan.
- 12. Squeeze the soaked gelatin well and dissolve it in the warm wine mixture.
- 13. Remove the saucepan from the heat so the mixture stops boiling.
- 14. First, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of the liver cream into the gelatin mixture to temper it.
- 15. Slowly pour the diluted gelatin mixture into the rest of the liver cream while stirring.
- 16. Optionally strain the final mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps.
- 17. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- 18. Gently fold the whipped cream into the liver cream to maintain its airy texture.
- 19. Season the liver mousse with salt and pepper to taste.
- 20. Rinse the terrine molds briefly with cold water so the mousse releases easily later.
- 21. Fill the liver mousse into the prepared molds and smooth the surface.
- 22. Press the remaining spring onion rings as a decorative layer onto the surface.
- 23. Chill the terrines in the refrigerator until they are set and ready to serve.
- 24. Release the terrine from the edge by carefully running a knife along the inner rim.
- 25. Dip the mold briefly into hot water to loosen the mousse.
- 26. Carefully turn out the liver terrine onto a serving plate.
- 27. Garnish the finished terrine as desired with fresh thyme sprigs, basil leaves, and juniper berries.
