(Radjurspate)
While visiting Sweden we were served this traditional-style terrine without currant sauce, but we like its added bite and color.
Ingredients
For the Terrine
- 1 lb. finely ground venison
- 1⁄4 lb. smoked ham, minced
- 1 yellow onion, peeled and minced
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp. tomato purée
- 2 tbsp. fine bread crumbs
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1⁄2 cup Beef Stock
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Sauce
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. mild Swedish mustard
- 1 tbsp. red currant jelly
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 (1") stick of cinnamon
- 1⁄2 tsp. ground ginger
- Juice from half an orange
- Juice from half a lemon
- 1 cup red currants, fresh, frozen, or canned
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°. Combine venison, ham, onions, garlic, thyme, tomato purée, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, and stock in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, mix well, and pack into an oiled 4- to 5-cup terrine mold. Cover terrine with aluminum foil and a lid. Place terrine in a roasting pan, add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come two-thirds of the way up sides of the mold, and bake for 1 hour. Cool terrine, loosen with a knife, then unmold and chill.
Step 2
For the sauce, combine honey, mustard, jelly, sugar, and 1 tbsp. water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, over medium heat. Add cinnamon, ginger, orange juice, lemon juice, and currants and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and chill. Spread over top of terrine and serve.
