Pass the bacon without rind, hare meat, calf's
liver, sliced onions and garlic cloves through
the meat grinder and mix until homogenous.
Season with pepper, salt, zipped thyme and
rosemary, crushed juniper berries, nutmeg,
cloves, a glass of Cognac, game stock and a
dash of balsamic vinegar. Add a few slices of
old bread without crusts, soaked gelatin leaves
melted in a little warmed stock and the eggs.
Mix everything again.
Spray an earthenware terrine with olive oil and
place the bacon slices in it, leaving enough of
them to cover the top. Spoon the filling into the
tureen and cover with the bacon pieces. Cover
the terrine with the lid.
Place the terrine in a preheated oven at 185°C
for 1 ½ hours au bain-marie.
Remove the lid from the terrine, place a sheet
of baking paper on top and a heavy weight,
such as an old iron, on top. Let cool completely
under weight in a cool place and then put the
terrine in the frig for at least a few days before
using.
Remove the hare pâté from the terrine, cut into
slices and serve with garnishes of your choice
and inspiration.
