  • About

More often than not, pâtés and terrines will be based on pork or ham, sometimes prepared with or accompanied by salads or vegetables and served as a first course. Contrast the following simple salad with the more elaborate terrine which follows.

Ingredients

For each person

  • 100 g raw country ham or salt belly of pork, cut in 1-2 slices
  • 1 tbsp duck or goose

Method

Fry the meat very gently in the fat while you prepare and dress the salad and arrange it on each person’s plate.

Put the ham/pork on top of each person’s salad, and in the remaining fat, fry the eggs, then use to top the salads. Season with pepper but no salt.
