Avocado, yoghurt and horseradish terrine with salami crostinis

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 30 mins + chilling time

Ingredients

  • TERRINE
  • 310ml (1¼ cups or 4 small avocados) avocado purée
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) lemon juice
  • 5ml (1 tsp) fine salt
  • 2,5ml (½ tsp) freshly ground black pepper
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) sweet chilli sauce
  • 15 – 20ml (3 – 4 tsp) horseradish
  • 80ml (? cup) Greek yoghurt
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) cold water
  • 8g powdered gelatine
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) warm water
  • 8 – 12 slices baguette
  • olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black
  • avocado slices, to serve
  • fresh basil or watercress, to serve

Instructions

1

Line a 500ml (2 cups) mould with plastic wrap, allowing the plastic to hang over the sides. Once you have lined the mould,  lightly spray it with spray and cook.

2

For the terrine, place the avocado purée in a blender, add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, chilli sauce, horseradish and yoghurt, and blend until smooth.

3

Pour the cold water into an espresso cup or similar-sized small bowl. Sprinkle the powdered gelatine on top and set it aside for 5 minutes. Boil the kettle and pour some of the boiling water into a slightly bigger bowl. Place the bowl containing the gelatine into the bowl with the warm water and stir until the gelatine dissolves and becomes a clear liquid. Pour the liquid gelatine into a mixing bowl and whisk in the 30ml warm water. Working very quickly, whisk in a third of the avocado mixture to combine. Whisk in the rest of the avocado mixture and pour it into the prepared mould.

4

Place the avocado mixture in the fridge to set for at least 6 hours. Once it has set, leave it on the work surface for 30 – 45 minutes, depending on howwarm it is. This allows the terrine to reach room temperature before you serve it.

5

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Place the baguette slices on a baking tray, drizzle each slice with olive oil and season lightly. Bake until golden and crisp, about 5 – 7 minutes. Place a slice of salami on top of each baguette.

6

Unmould the terrine onto a serving platter and peel off the plastic wrap. Decorate the terrine with sliced avocado and fresh basil or watercress. Serve with the salami crostinis on the side.

Notes
