Braise ham hocks in water with rough chopped veg for 2-3 hours till meat falls off the bone
Leave to cool till you can handle then strip meat discarding any of the veg, fat, bone or sinew
Line a terrine mould with a triple layer of cling film
Sweat off fine cut vegetable in oil till soft but with no colour
Combine with the ham adding pepper to taste
Compress all the mix tightly into the terrine mould
Place in fridge until fully set (overnight ideally)
Blanche leek for a minute then refresh in cool water
Cut leek lengthways (from top to bottom) with one cut
Lay out leaves to make a square with the blanched leek on triple layered cling film
Blow torch the outside of terrine to soften and make outside sticky
Roll terrine on the leek square to full cover outside
Cut the terrine into 1cm thick slices (taking care to remove any cling film)
We serve up with a prune anise puree & pickled girolles (but a good chutney & oatcakes are good too:)
