Fish provides lean protein and omega-3, which is good for cholesterol, and eggs add complete protein. Bound with soft cheese rather than cream, this terrine stays light and delicate. Low in carbohydrate, it is a refined, healthy starter that is naturally gluten-free.
Variations and substitutions
- With prawns or scallops.
- With spinach for colour.
- Served with a yoghurt and lemon sauce.
- With Greek yoghurt instead of soft cheese.
Storage and making ahead
Keeps for 3 days in the fridge and is eaten cold, so it can be made ahead.
💡 Good to know
