Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.

Avocado and smoked salmon terrine : Stage 1

Peel 2 avocados, dice and sprinkle with the juice of 1 lime. Add a little Tabasco, salt, pepper, 4 tablespoons olive oil and ½ teaspoon vitamin C. Blend to obtain a smooth avocado purée .

Note: The vitamin C prevents the avocado turning brown. If you don't have any, add more lime juice and eat the terrine within 2 hours of preparation, otherwise it will lose its lovely green colour (but not its flavour).

Stage 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

Soak 3 sheets gelatin.

It is not essential, but you can pass the avocado purée through a sieve to make it smoother.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

Check the seasoning of the avocado purée.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 15 min.

Avocado and smoked salmon terrine : Stage 4

Put 3 tablespoonsful of avocado purée into a pan over low heat and heat while stirring continuously. Do not let it boil! As soon as the purée feels hot when you dip your finger in it, turn off the heat and add the drained gelatin. Continue stirring until it has melted.

Leave to cool, then pour back into the rest of the avocado purée and mix thoroughly.

Set aside at room temperature.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 5 min.

Avocado and smoked salmon terrine : Stage 7

Begin assembling the terrine:

Line the inside of your dish or mould with stretch film, as this makes turning out easier (if you intend serving the terrine straight from the dish, like a pâté de campagne, this isn't necessary). Stand the dish on a tea-towel folded in 4.

Put a layer of avocado purée in the bottom of the dish (about 1 cm or ½ inch). Tap the dish onto the tea-towel to spread the purée evenly. Do this for each layer.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 5 min.

Turn out the terrine (if you want to) at the last minute and serve both the terrine and herb dressing well chilled.

You should not put an aluminum container directly in the oven

If you put an aluminum container, containing food to be cooked or reheated, in your oven directly on the shelf, the shiny base will reflect a large part of the oven heat (like a mirror). This means that the food will take much longer to cook or heat through than usual.

Morteau sausage

In this recipe, Morteau sausages are cooked on a bed of chopped potatoes. The trick is to cook the Morteau sausage slowly, so that its delicious, smoky flavor descends on the potatoes, which are crispy on the outside and melt-in-the-mouth on the inside, a pure delight.

Almond tuiles

These delicious little biscuits ("tiles" in French) get their crunch and lightness from the use of flaked almonds rather than ground. It is not difficult to succeed, you just need to work fast after taking them out of the oven.
