Ingredients
- 4 large swiss chard leaves or 8 large beet greens
- kosher salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 4 oz. cauliflower florets
- 4 oz. green peas
- 4 oz. carrots
- 4 oz. red pepper seeded
- 1 1/2 oz. grated parmesan cheese
- 5 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the swiss chard for one minute.
- Remove the leaves and rinse them under cold water to set the color, then pat dry on tea towels.
- Butter a terrine dish (9×5" or 10×6") and lay out the Swiss chard to cover the dish completely, allowing excess to overhang.
- Individually cook the cauliflower, peas, and carrots in salted boiling water until very tender, drain, and set aside.
- Roast the red pepper under a broiler until the skin blackens, then peel, seed, and cut into pieces.
- Blend each vegetable separately with one egg, 1/4 cup cream, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth, then transfer to small bowls.
- Rinse the blender and repeat for each vegetable, blending the cheese with an egg, 1/4 cup cream, and seasoning last.
- Spoon the carrot puree into the terrine first and smooth to the edges, followed by the cauliflower, smoothing it out cautiously.
- Repeat by adding the peas, followed by the cheese mixture, and finally the red pepper.
- Fold the overhanging leaves over and bake the terrine in a water bath at 350°F for one hour and fifteen minutes until set.
- Cool the terrine on a wire rack, then chill overnight in the refrigerator for better setting.
- Before serving, take the terrine out of the refrigerator 30 minutes ahead, then turn it out onto a cutting board and slice for serving.

For a vegetarian twist, replace parmesan with a non-dairy alternative.
Ensure that the vegetables are blended until smooth for the best texture.
