  1. Chapter 11 Pâtés and Terrines

  2. Topics Covered • Types of Forcemeats • Preparation of Forcemeats

  3. Introduction • Pâtés started as a preservation method • No refrigeration was available • Food was preserved by baking it in bread • Early nineteenth century: • Chef Antonin Careme baked terrines: forcemeats in long rectangular vessels instead of dough

  4. Introduction (cont’d.) • Terrine: • After baking, covered with pure lard to preserve • Later with chaud froid • Today, preparation and look of pâtés are changing again • Made in the shape of pies or baked in terrines and served unmolded

  5. Types of Forcemeats • Straight forcemeats: • Made from equal parts pork, pork fat, and a dominant meat (e.g., pheasant) • Ingredients are ground or emulsified in a food processor • Meat is cubed, semifrozen, seasoned, cured, and prepared the same way as sausage making

  6. Types of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Country-style forcemeat: • Coarse texture • Made from pork, pork fat, and liver • Ground through various sizes of grinding plates, seasoned, mixed • Then baked or poached in a enclosed vessel with water

  7. Types of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Mousseline: • A light fine-textured forcemeat • Made from turkey, veal, chicken, game, or fish • Ground, seasoned, and emulsified in a food processor with cream and eggs • Then molded into quenelles (dumplings), piped into natural casings, and placed in a terrine • Terrine poached or baked in a water bath

  8. Types of Forcemeats (cont’d.) Pâté en croûte molds Various types and shapes of terrines

  9. Preparation of Forcemeats • Forcemeats, also called brat or farces: • Base of sausages • Made from raw meats, mostly pork • Also made from beef, poultry, fish, or mollusks (e.g., shrimp or lobster)

  10. Preparation of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • For mousseline forcemeats: • White meats, fish, or shellfish are used • Heavy cream is substituted for animal fat

  11. Preparation of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Having everything ready and observing good sanitary practices will help in preparing pâtés, terrines, or mousselines • All ingredients and equipment must be kept at approximately 36°F to 40°F

  12. Preparation of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Seasonings: • Salt draws out moisture and proteins from meat and ensures a good “bind” • Using carefully measured herbs and ground spices creates flavor

  13. Preparation of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Seasonings: (cont’d.) • Should complement the main flavor of the meat used and not be overpowering • Wine, brandy, or grain-based spirits can be used to enhance flavor and aroma • Colorful garnishes add eye appeal and develop additional textures and flavor

  14. Preparation of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Production of forcemeats • Keep ingredients, and machinery between 36°F and 40°F • Reduces foodborne illness risk • Prepare ingredients according to recipe • Keep grinding knives, grinding plates, and food processor blades sharp

  15. Preparation of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Production of forcemeats (cont’d.) • Terrines are lined with thinly sliced fatback or pig’s caul/crepinette or sprayed/ greased with oil or butter before filling • Do not overfill: • Allow about 1/2 inch of space below the top

  16. Preparation of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Production of forcemeats (cont’d.) • Cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and place in roasting pan • Fill pan halfway up the terrine with hot water and place in a 350°F oven • Water temperature should be 175°F–185°F • Bake for 2 hours or to an internal temperature of 150°F to 155°F • Remove and cool • Chill

  17. Preparation of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Pig’s caul: • A fine, fatty tissue enclosing pig intestines • Should be soaked in cold water for 2 to 3 hours before use • This removes all blood clots and impurities • Squeeze dry and refrigerate Soaked pig’s caul

  18. Preparation of Forcemeats (cont’d.) • Pâtés and terrines can interact with sausage forcemeats • Especially with bologna and gelbwurst (white bologna) forcemeat bases

  19. Summary • This chapter reviewed: • The different types of forcemeats • How to prepare the different types of forcemeats
