The Next Day:
2- Preheat your oven to 180°(th6).
3- In a well-chilled mixing bowl, quickly grind through a meat grinder with medium blade all the marinade elements.
4- Then add the whole egg, powdered gelatin, the small bacon dice and the pistachios, and with a wooden spatula, work this forcemeat vigorously for two minutes.
5- Line your terrine with the bacon strips so they overhang by about 5 cm, then fill with the forcemeat to the top, fold them over the top, add your 2 bay leaves and juniper berries, cover and cook in a water bath at mid-oven for 1 hour 10 minutes.
6- Remove your terrine, take off the lid, place a small board on top with a 500 gr weight, wait for it to cool.
