Chicken Prosciutto Mortadella Artichoke Terrine Recipes

CHICKEN, PROSCIUTTO, MORTADELLA & ARTICHOKE TERRINE

Steps:

• Chicken -- First thing to do is to pound out the chicken. Place the chicken between plastic wrap and pound until thin.You can use a rolling pin, meat mallet or even the bottom of a heavy pan. Anything will work.
• The chicken will be used for two layers of the loaf so I try to cut the chicken in 2-3 smaller pieces so the chicken will fit to make the layers.
• Dipping Station -- Layout out your dipping station -- 1) well beaten eggs in one pie pan or small flat dish; 2) parmesan, seasoned salt, pepper, cayenne, and lemon zest in the other.
• Pan -- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, bottom and sides and spray with non-stick spray. I use scissors and cut down the corners of the parchment paper to make it fit easier.
• Layer 1: Chicken - Dip 1/2 of the chicken in the egg and then in the parmesan mixture and place in the bottom of the loaf pan. Fit the pieces in well and tight so it covers the entire bottom of the pan.
• Layer 2: Mortadella and Proscuitto - Top the chicken with the mortadella slices and then 1/2 of the proscuitto.
• Layer 3: Artichokes - Slice the artichokes in 1-3 pieces, depending on the size. Then dip 1/2 of the artichokes in the egg and then in the parmesan and place on top of the mortadella and proscuitto.
• Layer 4: Fresh basil leaves -- All of the basil leaves.
• Layer 5: Chicken Again - Same as above. Dip the remaining chicken in the egg and then parmesan and put on top of the artichokes.
• Layer 6: Salami - Top the chicken with all of the salami and then the remaining proscuitto.
• Layer 7: Artichokes - Last layer. Once again, dip in the egg and then parmesan and top the salami and proscuitto.
• All Done -- Cover with a piece of parchment paper and here is the key - it needs to be weighted down. Take a brick and cover it with aluminum foil. That really works best. Place on top of the parchment paper and now you are ready to bake. If you don't have a brick, just open a bag of beans and pour them on a sheet of foil and wrap up. Just something heavy to weigh the terrine down.
• Bake -- Put the loaf pan in another pan, like a 13x9, filled 1/2 way with warm water. Then bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours on the middle shelf. The water will keep the terrine from getting too brown and let it cook slower. Remove and let cool completely, cover well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• Aioli -- Mix all the ingredients together. Mayonnaise, lemon, herbs and garlic. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This can be made ahead of time.
• Serve -- Remove the plastic wrap and the top parchment paper from the terrine, then put a plate on top and flip over. Remove the parchment paper and then thin slice. You can serve this for a buffet too, it is so pretty to serve. I like to serve the slices over a bed a greens and top with the garlic herb aioli. ENJOY this great unique dish!

ARTICHOKE-MORTADELLA FLATBREAD PIZZAS

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Combine the ricotta, lemon zest and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Spread the ricotta mixture on the lavash, almost to the edges; transfer each piece to a baking sheet. Bake, switching the baking sheets halfway through, until the lavash is golden and crisp around the edges, about 10 minutes.
• Combine the arugula, chives, artichokes and parmesan in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss. Arrange the mortadella on the pizzas; top with the arugula salad and pistachios.

CHICKEN AND ARTICHOKE TERRINE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325 F. 2. In a small pan over medium heat, sweat the onions in the oil until translucent but not colored. Then add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Turn the heat off and set the mixture aside. 3. Soak the bread with the cream and beaten eggs for 5 minutes. Crush with your hands until you get a paste. 4. Add the bread mixture with the ground chicken, the thyme, the chives, the spices, the salt, the pepper and the parmesan and mix well with your hands until the mixture is homogeneous. Be vigorous. 5. Then, add the cubed chicken and the pistachios and mix well, making sure that the cubed chicken is not crushed in the process. Be more gentle this time around. Set this aside. 6. In another bowl, mix the artichokes, the olives, the egg, the parmesan, the pepper and mix well. Set aside. 7. Brush a bit of olive oil inside the terrine mold and line it with parchment paper. (The oil is used so that the paper adheres well). Line your mold with overlapping slices of prosciutto, letting the extra hang over the sides of the dish. 8. Start layering the ingredients: use ¼ of the chicken mixture at the bottom of the dish, then cover the chicken mixture with a thin layer of Mortadella (two slices are fine). Repeat this step another time. 9. Layer the artichoke mixture in the middle and cover with Mortadella. On top, put two other layers of chicken and Mortadella as before. 10. Cover the meat with two slices of prosciutto, cover with the hanging parchment paper and aluminum foil. Put the terrine in a roasting pan and pour around enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the terrine. Place in oven and cook for 1-1/2 hours. Remove from the water bath and cool completely. Place a brick on it and refrigerate overnight. Leave in the refrigerator at least 24 hours before devouring. It is better 72 hours after. 11. Cut big slices and serve with crostini.

MOSAIC CHICKEN TERRINE

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add the lemon pepper and Seasoned Salt. Dip the chicken breasts into the eggs, then into the Parmesan. Dip the artichoke hearts into the eggs, then into the Parmesan.
• Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper. Place one layer of chicken breasts on the bottom of the pan (this will use about 2 1/2 breasts). Cover the chicken with a layer of mortadella, salami, or prosciutto. Cover the ham with a layer of artichoke hearts, then cover with the basil leaves, using all the leaves. Repeat the layers of chicken, ham, and artichoke hearts. Cover the top of the terrine with parchment paper or foil. During baking, the terrine must be weighted with something heavy to compress the layers. A clean brick wrapped in foil works nicely and fits nicely in loaf pan. Put the loaf pan in a larger baking pan, and pour in water to a depth of 1 1/2 inches. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• Let the terrine cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate in the loaf pan for several hours, or overnight. In a bowl, blend the mayonnaise, garlic, dillweed, and parsley with a spoon; chill. To serve, carefully turn the terrine out of the pan onto a platter and cut 3/4-inch slices. Serve with mayonnaise mixture and good buttery crackers.

CHICKEN AND ARTICHOKE PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute chicken in 1 tablespoon oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm., In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and onions in remaining oil until tender; add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the tomatoes, artichokes, salt and chicken. Cook and stir for 4-5 minutes or until heated through., Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in basil. Drain pasta; serve with chicken mixture and cheese.

PIZZA WITH MORTADELLA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Using, hand-tossed pizza dough, place on a hot grill for approximately 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is firm.
• Turn it over and brush with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place mortadella and prosciutto on the pizza. Then top with thinly sliced fresno peppers and shaved parmesan cheese.
• Grill until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes).

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED CHICKEN & LEEK TERRINE

Steps:

• Gently cook the leeks for 15 mins in 2 tbsp olive oil until soft, then set aside to cool. In the remaining oil, fry the mushrooms with the garlic and thyme for 2 mins, then set aside to cool. Soak the gelatine in cold water, then heat the stock. Dissolve the gelatine in the stock, season, then set aside. Gather all the ingredients so you have them to hand when you start to assemble the terrine.
• Line a terrine dish or loaf tin with cling flim. Line with slices of prosciutto so that they overlap to cover the base and sides, and overhang the edges.
• Wet the bottom of the dish with a drizzle of stock. Arrange a single layer of chicken so that everything is even - don't worry about any gaps - then pour over a little more stock.
• Scatter over a layer of mushrooms (discarding the garlic and thyme). Season with salt and pepper, then moisten again with a little more stock.
• Add more chicken followed by a layer of leeks, another layer of chicken, then the herbs. Drizzle stock between every layer and season with salt and pepper as you go. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up or the terrine is full to the brim. Finish with a final scattering of herbs, a last ladleful of stock, then tap the dish down a few times so that the stock gets into all the gaps.
• Fold the prosciutto over to encase the terrine. Fold the cling film over and press down gently. Sit the terrine in a dish to catch any juices. Lay a tray on top, weigh it down with a can and chill overnight. Twenty mins before serving, remove the tray. Put the terrine in the freezer to firm. Just before serving, lift it out of the dish. Wrap it tightly in more cling film.
• Carefully slice the terrine, still wrapped in its cling film. Remove the cling film and place a slice in the centre of each plate. Arrange chunks of spiced pear (recipe below) around terrine. Drizzle a little chicken poaching liquid around the plate, then drizzle with a tiny bit of oil. Neatly scatter a few baby salad leaves over the pear, then season the terrine with some sea salt and pepper before serving.
