Creamy broccoli terrine - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh for this terrine?

Yes, you can use frozen broccoli. Just thaw and drain it well before boiling to avoid excess water in the terrine.

What can I substitute for gelatin to make this recipe vegetarian?

Agar-agar is a great vegetarian alternative to gelatin. Use it in the same quantity, but follow package instructions for proper activation.

How long does this terrine last in the fridge?

The terrine will keep well for up to 3 days if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, replace the cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free alternative, and skip the yolk or use a plant-based substitute.

What are some good serving suggestions for this terrine?

Serve chilled with a side salad, crusty bread, or as an elegant starter garnished with fresh herbs.

Can I freeze the broccoli terrine for later use?

Freezing is not recommended, as the texture may become grainy or watery upon thawing due to the dairy content.

How can I adjust the portions for a larger group?

Double or triple the ingredients and use a larger mold or multiple small molds for easy portioning.

Why is my terrine not setting properly?

This can happen if the gelatin wasn't fully dissolved or the mixture wasn't cooled sufficiently. Ensure proper gelatin activation and refrigeration time.

Can I add other vegetables to this terrine?

Absolutely! Try adding finely chopped carrots, peas, or spinach for extra color and flavor.
