Instructions
How to Make Délicieuse Terrine de Courgettes au Chorizo
- Thinly slice the zucchini and sprinkle with salt. Let it drain in a colander for about 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Pat dry with a clean towel for a firmer texture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, then add minced garlic, cooking briefly until fragrant. Incorporate the chorizo and cook until lightly browned. Allow to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend together the crème fraîche, grated Gruyère cheese, and eggs until smooth. Season generously with herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooled chorizo mixture.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Start by layering a few slices of zucchini on the bottom, followed by a layer of the chorizo mixture. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with zucchini on top.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the loaf pan in a larger baking dish filled with water. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the terrine is set.
- Remove the terrine from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Wrap it securely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Carefully unmold the terrine from the pan and slice into rounds. Serve cold, garnished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
For best results, allow the terrine to chill overnight. Serve with a crisp salad for a refreshing experience.
