A terrine most commonly refers to a French forcemeat loaf similar to a pâté, made with more coarsely chopped ingredients. Terrines are usually served cold or at room temperature. Most terrines contain a large amount of fat as well as pork, although it is often not the main ingredient: Many terrines are made with typical French game meat, like deer and boar (which are generally not eaten any other way in France).
The word is also, though less commonly, used to refer to other foods cooked or served in the eponymous dish.
Terrine may refer to:
- Terrine (cookware), a vessel for cooking a forcemeat loaf
- Terrine (food), a forcemeat similar to pâté
A terrine is a glazed earthenware ( terracotta, French terre cuite) cooking dish with vertical sides and a tightly fitting lid, generally rectangular or oval. Modern versions are also made of enameled cast-iron.
Terrine may also easily be confused with tureen, a large, deep, and usually round or oval covered dish, used for serving soups or stews.
