Step by Step guide

Step 1

Very thinly slice the bacon and line a 1-liter loaf pan with it. Leave a few thin slices aside.

Step 2

In a food processor, place the remaining bacon, chopped pork belly, and pork. Grind into minced meat. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the remaining ingredients, except for the baguette and salad greens. Cover and let sit for 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 302°F. Place the minced meat in the prepared pan and cover with the remaining bacon. Cover with foil. Place the pan in a deep baking tray and fill it halfway with boiling water. Bake in the oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully remove the terrine from the oven and let it cool. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top and weigh it down with something heavy. Refrigerate overnight.
