Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 200 grams cooked lentils
- 100 grams walnuts, chopped
- 50 grams hazelnuts, chopped
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 1 kg loaf tin with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic, chopped mushrooms, grated carrot, and chopped celery to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes until all the vegetables are soft and any liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, chopped walnuts, chopped hazelnuts, and breadcrumbs.
Add the cooked vegetable mixture to the bowl with the lentil and nut mixture. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Add the beaten egg, chopped parsley, thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper into the mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf tin. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Let the terrine cool in the tin for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate.
Slice the terrine and serve warm or at room temperature, paired with a side salad or crusty bread.
