  1. After studying this unit • You will be able to: • Prepare a variety of forcemeats • Assemble and cook a variety of pâtés, terrines and sausages • Understand the proper methods for brining, curing and smoking meats and fish • Identify several cured pork products

  2. Forcemeats • A preparation made from uncooked ground meats, poultry, fish or shellfish that is seasoned and then emulsified with fats • Used as the primary ingredient to make pâtés, terrines, galantines and sausages • Textures vary from smooth and velvety to well-textured and course

  3. Fat Emulsification • To ensure proper emulsification of a forcemeat: • The ratio of fat to other ingredients must be precise • Temperatures must be maintained below 41°F (5℃) • The ingredients must be mixed properly

  4. Forcemeat Ingredients • Meats • Dominant meat is what gives the forcemeat its name and essential flavor • Fats • Add moisture and richness • Binders • Panada • Crustless white bread soaked in milk • Eggs • Seasonings • Salt, curing salt, marinades and various herbs and spices • Garnishes • Meat, fats, vegetables or other foods added in limited quantities to provide contrasting flavors, textures and colors

  5. Special Seasonings • Curing salt • Mixture of salt and sodium nitrite • Controls spoilage and bacteria growth • Preserves the pink color of the meat • Pâté spice • A mixture of spices and herbs that can be premixed and used as needed

  6. Food grinder Food processor Drum sieve Standard meat grinder With various-sized grinding dies Equipment Needed

  7. Preparing Forcemeats • Preparations include potentially hazardous foods • Temperature controls must be strictly maintained • All food contact surfaces and cutting boards must be sanitized • To ensure proper emulsification, forcemeats must be kept below 41°F • Grinder and food processor parts should be chilled or frozen • All foods must be cut into small sizes to fit into the grinder • Do not overstuff grinders or food processors

  8. Three Common Forcemeat Preparations • Country-style • Simplest to prepare • Heavily seasoned • Basic • Smoother and more refined • Probably the most versatile of all • Mousseline • Light, airy and delicately flavored • Quenelles • Small, dumpling-shaped portions of mousseline

  9. Using Forcemeats • Terrines • Baked in an earthenware mold • Pâtés or pâtés en croûte • Fine savory meat filling wrapped and baked in a crust • Galantines • Forcemeats wrapped in the skin of the animal and poached, served cold • Ballotines • Forcemeats wrapped in the skin of chicken thighs and served hot

  10. Types of Terrines • Liver terrines • Foie gras terrines • Vegetable terrines • Brawns or aspic terrines • Mousse • Rillettes • Confits

  11. Procedure for Preparing Terrines 3 Placing the herb-decorated terrine in a water bath. 1 Lining a mold with thin slices of fatback. 4 Slicing the finished terrine. 2 Filling the terrine with the forcemeat and garnish.

  12. Procedure for Preparing Galantines 3 Using plastic wrap to roll the galantine into the tight cylinder. 1 Butterflying the breasts and tenderloins and placing a thin layer of meat over the skin. 4 Securing the galantine with heavy-duty aluminum foil. 2 Arranging the forcemeat and garnishes in a cylindrical shape across the center of the skin.

  13. Procedure for Preparing Galantines (cont.) 5 Slicing the finished product.

  14. Sausages • Forcemeat stuffed into casings • Fresh sausages • Fresh ingredients that have not been smoked or cured • Smoked and cooked sausages • Made with a raw meat products that have been treated with chemicals, usually the preservative sodium nitrite • Dried or hard sausages • Made of cured meat and then air-dried under controlled conditions • May or may not be smoked or cooked

  15. Sausage Components • Sausage meats • Forcemeats with particular characteristics • Sausage casings • Natural casings • Portions of hog, sheep or cattle intestines • Collagen casings • Manufactured from collagen extracted from cattle hide

  16. Procedure for Casing Sausage 3 Supporting and guiding the casing off the end of the nozzle as the sausage is extruded from the machine into the casing. 1 Sliding the casing over the nozzle of the sausage stuffer. 4 Twisting the sausage into uniform links. 2 Knotting and piercing the casing with a skewer.

  17. Salt Curing, Brining • Salt curing • Process of surrounding the food with salt or a mixture of salt, sugar, nitrite-based curing salts, herbs and spices • Brining • Soaking or injecting foods with a very salty marinade

  18. Smoking • Cold smoking • The process of exposing salt cured or brined foods to smoke at a temperature of 50°F to 85°F • Hot Smoking • The process of exposing foods to smoke at a temperature of 200°F to 250°F • After hot smoking, most foods are fully cooked

  19. Preserved Meat Products • Pork Products • Bacon • Canadian bacon • Pancetta • Ham • Prosciutto, Parma, Jamón, Westphalian ham • Other cured meats • Beef • Dried beef, Bresaola, smoked poultry

  20. Salt Curing Gravlax 2 Wrapping the fillets in plastic wrap. 1 Coating the salmon fillet with the salt cure. 4 Slicing the cured gravlax thinly. 3 Weighting down a pan placed on top of the wrapped fish.

  21. Glazing Pâté in Aspic Jelly 1 Cool the clarified aspic jelly by slowly stirring it over an ice bath. 2 Brush or spoon the aspic jelly over slices of chilled pâté arranged on a cooling rack. Repeat the process until the coating reaches the desired thickness.

  22. Sauce Chaud-Froid 2 Removing the skin. 1 Scoring the skin of the fish.
