Herb and Cheese Terrine
This Herb Cheese Terrine is a delight to share with the girls, or serve as an entree. Actually, I can think of all sorts of times to share this one. If you’re looking for something light, this new recipe couldn’t be easier. I made it in my Thermomix and used the Varoma settings to steam gently. Have you ever had a Cheese Terrine?
We recently came back from a wonderful holiday on a river cruise. The chef offered to share any of his recipes to the guests. He said, “just ask, and I’ll write them down and send them to your room”. I felt terrible asking, I know how much hard work goes on to produce them. But we were about a week into the trip when this dish was on the menu….
“Herb and Cheese Terrine Served With Roasted Pumpkin Seeds and Seasonal Salad.”
I needed this one. Something light and tasty, and you know I love cheese. The waiter told me it’s a cheese they make in the galley and he loves it, so I had to ask for the recipe.
To my surprise, the recipe was typed up and slipped under our door before we got back to our room. The sad part, it called for an ingredient called Qimiq. What? Never heard of it, so after a little research, I find that it’s a milk product that has been chemically altered to make it stable to use in all sorts of recipes.
You can’t get it in Australia at this stage, and it’s pretty much only available to restaurants overseas. So what’s a girl to do? Spend 1/2 the night while I’m supposed to be sleeping, coming up with a version that we can make at home? Yep, that’s what happened. Right, had to write it down to get it out of my head so I could finally go back to sleep. I’m sure that’s not normal. LOL
It’s so easy, light and delicious; I think you’re going to love it.
