Rabbit Terrine
Origin: Madrid, Spain
Source: Anonymous, 1921
Ingredients
- rabbit legs and loin
- veal
- jamón (cured ham)
- raw tocino (salt pork)
- rabbit bones and trimmings
- salt
Instructions
- Debone and mince very finely the rabbit legs and loin.
- Combine with finely minced veal and jamón (cured ham).
- Line the bottom of a mold with thin slices of raw tocino (salt pork).
- Layer the minced rabbit mixture, then pieces of the remaining rabbit meat, then more minced mixture, then more tocino slices, alternating until the mold is full.
- Place in the oven until the terrine is cooked through.
- Drain off the cooking juices and allow to cool completely.
- Separately, simmer the reserved rabbit bones and trimmings with salt until they yield a concentrated, savory broth.
- Strain this through a fine sieve to make a clear aspic (jellied broth).
- Pour the aspic over the cooled terrine so it forms a layer of jelly.
- When ready to serve, turn the terrine out of the mold as you would a flan.
