About Big Food Trip
Cock-a-leekie Terrine, Whisky Vinaigrette
Ardrossan
The chefs rely on gravity to set this chicken and prune terrine without gelatine. The crumbly, fragile texture of the dish eats divinely, and Paul and Nick love their whisky vinaigrette, which brings everything together.
Print recipe

Serves 6

Cock-a-leekie terrine

6 boned chicken thighs

6 chicken livers

Salt and pepper

1 bay leaf

2 sprigs thyme

4 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped

100g fresh parsley, finely chopped

40g semi-dried prunes, diced

At least 100ml olive oil

10-12 baby leeks

200ml chicken stock to cook the leeks

Chive flowers to decorate (optional)

Whisky vinaigrette

90ml olive oil

30ml sherry vinegar or balsamic

1 tsp mustard

1 tsp honey

1 tbsp whisky

Salt and pepper

Prep time: 20 min.
Cooking time: 3 hr(s) 25 min.
Difficulty rating: Medium

Cock-a-leekie terrine

Season the chicken and place in a large pan with the bay leaf, thyme and garlic. Pour over enough olive oil to just cover the meat. Just bring to the boil then simmer very gently for an hour.

Remove the chicken from the pan and leave to rest and cool. When cool, break up the chicken into small pieces.

Simmer the whole baby leeks in stock until just soft. Plunge into cold water and dry off on kitchen towel.

Season and sauté the chicken livers in a hot pan with a little oil, browning each side. Remove from the heat.

Line a terrine (or loaf) tin generously with cling film. Mix the chicken thigh meat, prunes and parsley in bowl. Check seasoning. Put half the mix into the lined tin, then layer on the chicken livers and finish off with the rest of the chicken mix. Place a weight on top, seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Whisky vinaigrette

Prepare the vinaigrette by mixing together all the ingredients. Shake well.

Serve

To serve, strip the leeks and place a portion on each plate. Very carefully unwrap the terrine and slice. Place one serving on each plate and drizzle the dressing over the leeks. Decorate with chives and chive flowers if using.
