Terrine (food)

A terrine (French pronunciation: ​[tɛ.ʁin]), in traditional French cuisine, is a loaf of forcemeat or aspic, similar to a pâté, that is cooked in a covered pottery mold (also called a terrine) in a bain-marie.[1][2][3] Modern terrines do not necessarily contain meat or animal fat, but still contain meat-like textures and fat substitutes, such as mushrooms and pureed fruits or vegetables high in pectin.[4] They may also be cooked in a wide variety of non-pottery terrine molds, such as stainless steel, aluminum, enameled cast iron, and ovenproof plastic.

For the cookware, see Terrine (cookware).

Terrines are usually served cold[5] or at room temperature. Most terrines contain a large amount of fat, although it is often not the main ingredient, and pork; many terrines are made with typical game meat, such as pheasant and hare.[6] In the past, terrines were under the province of professional charcutieres, along with sausages, pâtés, galantines, and confit.[7]

Less commonly, a terrine may be another food cooked or served in the cooking dish called a 'terrine'.[5]
