Beets, carrots and delicata squash are bound by a flavorful gelatin mixture and layered with fresh chives.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 6h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 medium beets (about 10 ounces), trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8- to 10-ounce delicata squash
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus more, for the pan
2 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
10 black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
2 leeks, white and light green parts, trimmed, sliced and well rinsed
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
4 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 sprigs fresh thyme
Two 1/4-ounce envelopes or 4 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
2/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives (about 1 large bunch)
4 cups mache or other baby lettuce
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Fleur de sel, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Divide the beets between 2 sheets of heavy-duty foil and wrap to enclose. Put the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let the beets steam in the foil 15 minutes, then peel and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cool.
  • Meanwhile, trim the squash, then halve lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices, leaving the skin intact. Toss the squash with the vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a baking sheet. Roast, flipping once, until tender, about 15 minutes. Cool.
  • Put the carrots in a saucepan with the peppercorns, 1 3/4 teaspoons salt and 3 1/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the carrots to a bowl, reserving the pan and the cooking liquid. Add the wine, leeks, celery and shallot to the saucepan and bring back to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Add the parsley and thyme and simmer 10 minutes. Pour the vegetable stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a 1-quart glass measure or heatproof bowl; discard the solids. If the stock measures more than 2 1/2 cups, return to the saucepan and boil until reduced to 2 1/2 cups. If there is less, add water. Season the stock with salt and pepper.
  • Stir the gelatin into 1/4 cup cold water and let stand 1 minute to soften, then add the gelatin to the hot stock, stirring until dissolved. Set aside.
  • Very lightly oil a 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch terrine or glass loaf pan with vegetable oil, then line the long sides and bottom with a sheet of plastic wrap, smoothing out any wrinkles and allowing at least 2 inches of overhang on each side. Pour about 1/3 cup of the gelatin-stock mixture into the terrine and quick-chill in the freezer until just set, about 10 minutes.
  • Arrange the beets in one layer over the gelatin layer then sprinkle with one-third of the chives. Arrange the carrots on top, leaving some space between them for the gelatin to fill and hold the vegetables together. Sprinkle half the remaining chives over the carrots, then top with a layer of squash. Sprinkle the remaining chives over the squash. Stir the remaining gelatin-stock mixture again, reserve 1/2 cup at room temperature, then slowly pour the remainder into the terrine, pushing down the vegetables if necessary to just submerge in the gelatin mixture. Chill, uncovered, until the top is set, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • If the reserved 1/2 cup gelatin mixture has begun to set, heat until just liquefied but not hot, then pour over the set terrine. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  • To serve, run a thin knife along the short sides of the terrine, then invert the terrine onto a cutting board, gently pulling on the plastic overhang to help unmold; discard the plastic. With a very sharp knife, carefully cut the terrine into 8 slices. Using a metal spatula to hold the outside of each slice steady, transfer 1 or 2 slices to each plate. Place the mache next to the terrine slices. Drizzle the olive oil over the mache and around the plates and then sprinkle the plates with fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper. Serve.

VEGETABLE TERRINE



Vegetable Terrine image

Provided by Food Network

Time 10h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
8 large beet greens or ruby Swiss chard
Butter, softened, for greasing mold
4 ounces/110 g cauliflower florets
4 ounces/110 g carrots
4 ounces/110 g green peas
1 red pepper
2 1/4 cups/560 ml heavy cream
5 eggs
1 1/2 ounces/40 g/1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Salt it and blanch the beet greens for 1 minute. Remove the leaves and immediately rinse under ice-cold water to set their color. Gently lay flat on tea towels, and pat dry with another tea towel. They should be completely dry.
  • Line a buttered terrine mold with a piece of parchment. Neatly lay in the beet leaves to cover the bottom and sides completely. They should dangle over the sides a bit so that they can be folded over the completed terrine later.
  • Cook the cauliflower, carrots and peas one at a time in the same pot of boiling salted water, until very tender. Remove them and immediately rinse in ice-cold water to preserve their color. Drain well. Roast the pepper until very soft. Peel, seed and cut into pieces.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.
  • This terrine has five layers, so work one vegetable at a time. First put the cauliflower in the blender with 1/4 cup/60 ml cream and 1 egg. Pulse to a smooth puree. Pour into a small bowl and set aside. Rinse the blender and proceed with the remaining vegetables in the same manner, pouring their purees off into bowls and setting aside. Put the final egg and 1/4 cup/60 ml cream in the blender with the Parmesan cheese and puree to blend. Season each mixture with salt and pepper.
  • If you pour one mixture on top of the other into the terrine, they will run together, so spoon them in instead. Start with the carrot, spooning it into the terrine and smoothing it out to the edges. Next, spoon over the cauliflower, followed by the peas. Spoon the Parmesan mixture over evenly, and end with the red pepper. If one leaks through to another layer, fear not: some think it is even more beautiful that way and in any case it will taste delicious. Fold the overhanging beet leaves over top to cover. Bake in a water bath until set, a good hour.
  • Remove the terrine from the bath. Let it cool completely on a wire rack, and, if possible, chill in the refrigerator overnight so it sets well. At least half an hour before serving, turn the terrine out onto a cutting board or platter for serving in slices.

Yield Makes 8 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 1/2 lb mixed baby (1-inch) or medium (2-inch) Chioggia and golden beets with greens (about 16 baby or 6 medium; see cooks' note, below)
2 large leeks, trimmed of any discolored leaves or ends, leaving green parts attached
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced crosswise
2 celery ribs, sliced, reserving leaves
2 shallots, thinly sliced crosswise
2 cups dry white wine
1 teaspoon salt
10 black peppercorns
3 1/4 cups cold water
1/2 cup chopped mixed tender fresh herbs, stems reserved for stock
1 (1/2-oz) bunch fresh chives, coarser bottom third cut off and reserved and remainder chopped
4 1/2 teaspoons gelatin (from two 1/4-oz envelopes)
1/3 lb haricots verts, trimmed
1/3 lb wax beans, trimmed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for oiling terrine
Fleur de sel for sprinkling
Coarsely ground black pepper for sprinkling
Garnish: fresh herb sprigs
Special Equipment
heavy-duty foil; a nonreactive (6-cup capacity) rectangular terrine or loaf pan (see cooks' note, below)

Steps:

  • Roast beets:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Trim beets, leaving 1/2 inch of stems intact. Divide between 2 sheets of heavy-duty foil and wrap foil to enclose beets. Roast in a shallow baking pan until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let steam in foil 15 minutes, then peel beets and cut into 1-inch-wide wedges if large. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Make gelatin mixture while beets roast:
  • Halve leeks lengthwise, then coarsely chop. Wash leeks in a bowl of water, agitating them, then lift out with a slotted spoon and transfer to a 3-quart saucepan. Add carrots to leeks along with sliced celery, shallots, wine, salt, peppercorns, and 3 cups cold water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes.
  • Add celery leaves, herb stems, and coarse parts of chives and simmer 10 minutes. Pour stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a 1-quart glass measure or heatproof bowl, discarding solids. If stock measures more than 2 1/2 cups, return to saucepan and boil until reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 10 to 15 minutes. If there is less, add water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir gelatin into remaining 1/4 cup cold water and let stand 1 minute to soften, then add to hot stock, stirring until dissolved. Set aside.
  • Prepare beans:
  • Boil haricots verts and wax beans in separate batches in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until very tender, 6 to 7 minutes per batch, transferring with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain in a colander and pat dry. Transfer to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Assemble terrine:
  • Very lightly oil terrine, then line long sides and bottom with a sheet of plastic wrap, smoothing out any wrinkles and allowing at least 2 inches of overhang on each side. Pour about 1/2 cup gelatin mixture into terrine and quick-chill in freezer until just set, about 10 minutes.
  • Lay one third of beans lengthwise over set gelatin layer. Sprinkle with one third of chopped herbs (including chives), then loosely top with half of beets, leaving some space between them (for gelatin to fill and hold vegetables together). Repeat layering with half of remaining beans and herbs and all of beets, then end with a third layer of beans and herbs. Stir remaining gelatin mixture again, then slowly pour in all but 1/2 cup (reserve remainder at room temperature), pushing down vegetables if necessary to just cover with gelatin mixture. Chill, uncovered, until top is set, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • If reserved 1/2 cup gelatin mixture has begun to set, heat until just liquefied but not hot, then pour over set terrine. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  • To serve:
  • Run a thin knife along short sides (ends) of terrine, then invert terrine onto a cutting board, gently pulling on plastic overhang to help unmold (discard plastic wrap). Carefully cut terrine with a very sharp knife into 8 slices, transferring each slice to a plate as cut, using a metal spatula to hold outside of each slice steady. Drizzle oil (1/4 cup) around plates and sprinkle fleur de sel and pepper over oil and terrine.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Ensure all ingredients are prepped and measured before beginning. This ensures a smooth cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables provide the best flavor and texture to the terrine.
  • Blanch Vegetables Properly: Blanching vegetables stops the cooking process and preserves their color and texture.
  • Chill Vegetables Thoroughly: After blanching, chill the vegetables in ice water to maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
  • Season Generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and herbs to enhance the flavors of the vegetables.
  • Line the Terrine Mold Properly: Use plastic wrap or parchment paper to line the mold, ensuring it extends over the edges for easy removal.
  • Press Mixture Firmly: Press the vegetable mixture firmly into the mold to prevent air pockets and ensure a compact terrine.
  • Chill Terrine Thoroughly: Allow the terrine to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
  • Serve with Accompaniments: Serve the terrine with a variety of accompaniments such as a light vinaigrette, aioli, or a simple green salad.
