Method

Terrine
Best prepared the day before to allow 12 hours setting time.
Combine the salt, white pepper, nutmeg, cloves, two juniper berries, a bay leaf, mixed herbs and orange zest. Use this mix to season the meat. Add the brandy and combine.
Cover the mixture with cling wrap and refrigerate for 12 hours.
After 12 hours remove from the fridge and mince the mixture in a blender. Place the mixture into a bowl, add in the eggs and then mix in the pistachio nuts and apricots.
Line a terrine mould with pork fat or bacon rashers (note: use a loaf tin if you don’t have a terrine dish).
Fill with the meat mixture and finish by wrapping the bacon or pork fat over the top.
Place the remaining three bay leaves, juniper berries and the black pepper corns on top of the wrapped terrine. Place the lid on top, or if using a loaf tin, seal with foil.
Fill a roasting pan/ovenproof dish halfway with water to create a water bath. Bake the terrine at 180 °C, the water temperature should remain at 80 °C for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and place a weight on top to compress.

Sauce Ravigote
Combine all of the ingredients together and mix well.

 To Serve
Allow the terrine to cool fully before turning out and slicing. Serve with sauce ravigote and crisp toast.
