On my side of the world
Autumn well and truly has us in her grasp!
Immediately my thoughts turn to delicious
heart-warming food.
It was our embroidery groups fortnightly meeting
on Tuesday and the venue was my home!
I decided to serve a long time family favorite
Pork and Veal Pistachio terrine.
Pears are in plentiful supply now, so I poached
some in lemon juice, water and brown sugar.
I served both the terrine and pears warm
with salad on the side
and some crusty french bread... very yummy!

Do you have a local butcher that you can get the veal mince?
ReplyDeleteThat is a yummy looking meal.
ReplyDeleteMerle............
I love terrines and this one sounds wonderful. Thank you for joining Tasty Tuesday. You asked if I might continue it. I am not sure, but will email you if I do.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very delicious. The tomato salad--yum! And your needlework is delightful!
ReplyDeleteMmm. That looks delicious. Poached pears are wonderful, and I'm always looking for more things to do with ground meat.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Dearest Shane,
ReplyDeleteYou sure understand how to prepare food with LOVE and make it not only appealing to the eye but also yummy!
Enjoy your fall.
Hugs,
Mariette
Your meal looks so good. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing looks delicious and so pretty! Beautifully plated and served!
ReplyDeleteLooks so delicious! The mere thought of poached pears has me dreaming.
ReplyDeleteThat looks and sounds amazing! I gave up beef and pork over a year ago and sometimes it is hard like. Seeing your yummy meal makes me want some. And I really miss a juicy burger. But my digestive system no longer has psin so I will keep on eating my veggies and chicken! Happy autumn to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply - It is a pity veal is not generally available isn't it. Your terrine looks delicious - I suppose one could also use chicken in place of the veal - must try one day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a feast you served your guests. The combination of flavors, textures and colors must have been so delicious.
ReplyDeleteAs we approach early summer over here, it will be quite a wait until real, naturally ripened tomatoes appear at the local farmers market. They are so wonderful...I loved the look of your salad and appreciated your description, too.

What a beautiful presentation! The pears look so pretty and yummy, as do the tomatoes! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and asking about the Poppers...no I've never frozen them. When we have them, I make just enough for us to eat all at one time. It's simple enough to make that I've never even thought about trying to freeze them.
Have a great weekend!

Was für ein leckeres und köstliches Essen.
ReplyDeleteIch bin zwar satt, hatte grade eine heiße, scharfe Serbische Bohnensuppe mit viel Knoblauch...
Aber in diese schöne Fleisch-Terrine könnte ich sofort reinbeissen :-)
Liebe Grüße
und einen herrlichen Mai-Monat

ReplyDeleteI like the look of that tomato salad!
Of course, we hope that our tomato plants successfully produce lots later on in the year!
I do believe I must try this recipe. It sounds just delicious. What a lovely fall meal. We are just planting our tomatoes and buying more roses for the garden today. But dreaming of tomatoes and roses such as you are enjoying in the autumn.
ReplyDeleteI am drooling!! The meal looks so delicious :-) I dont think I have ever had a terrine so maybe it is time to try one! Would just pork mince work, without the veal?
ReplyDeleteOh that looks so delicious. I've always wanted to make my on terrine and this one may be it!
