TURKEY, PISTACHIO AND CRANBERRY TERRINE
1. Combine the turkey, shallots, garlic, salt, tarragon, pistachios, cranberries and goose fat in a large bowl. Mix by hand until fully combined. Season with pepper, to taste.
2. Arrange the bacon slices in a cling wrap lined 1 litre terrine mould, covering the bottom of the mould evenly, with the ends of the slices hanging over the edges. Place the turkey mix into the mould and pack down using hands. Fold over the bacon and press down tightly. Completely seal the terrine with the overhanging cling wrap.
3. Cook for 60 minutes on 100ºC.
4. Remove from oven, allow to cool. Put into the refrigerator with a heavy weight on top of the terrine and leave for 24 hours.
BROWN BREAD GAZPACHO
1. Place the almonds, bread, garlic, onion and grapes into a large bowl and use either a bar blender or a hand-held blender to purée all the ingredients together. Once smooth, leave the blender on the lowest power, add half the vinegar and slowly drizzle in the oil. Taste and adjust seasoning with remaining vinegar and salt.
2. Place in the refrigerator and rest for 6 hours before serving.
