- then add to the reduced stock. Whisk to combine
- then strain into a bowl. Allow to cool
- then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir in the chervil.
- Place into the fridge and chill for 30 minutes
- or until just setting
- but still with a good wobble.
- On a work surface
- place three large sheets of cling film one on top of the other. Lay the leeks in a row on the cling film
- then top with the spring onions.
- Spoon over the jelly
- then roll the cling film up into a large cigar shape
- twisting firmly to enclose at both ends. Place in the fridge for at least an hour until fully set.
- For the dressing
- whisk the mustard
- vinegar and lemon juice together in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the rapeseed oil and season
- to taste
- with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- To serve
- slice the terrine into wedges and place onto serving plates with some slices of ham and a drizzle of dressing.
