Christmas beer has characteristics that go
well with the flavor of game patties. It
usually contains additional spices that fit
the picture, such as vanilla, cinnamon and
cloves, juniper berries and orange zest.
Here, their use was limited to the confit, but
it's best to experiment with them to
incorporate the beer into the pâté as well.
Make the sauce: saute the chopped shallot
and sliced turnip. Season to taste. Dice the
pears and chicory into cubes.
Combine and now add all the other ingredients.
Bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes until the
liquid is almost gone. Serve cooled with the
terrine.
