Put the chicken livers, derinded bacon and
pheasant fillets through the meat grinder along
with an onion and a few cloves of garlic.
Season with dried thyme and dried parsley.
Further season with nutmeg, crushed juniper
berries, clove powder, pepper and salt. Add: a
good dash of Cognac, the eggs, cream and
game stock. Mix until homogenous.
Cover the terrine with strips of bacon fat. Spoon
in the meat mixture, fold closed and press well.
Wrap with aluminum foil.
Place the terrine in a hot water bath in an oven
at 220°C for 1 hour. Make sure the water is
already boiling when you slide the bath with the
terrine into the over. Let cool under weight. Let
rest overnight in a cool place.
Serve with homemade the compote of all the
enumerated ingredients. And with warm toasts
of raisin bread.
Variant: you can, in a festive version, add a
fine brunoise of truffle and a dash of truffle oil to
the meat mixture.
