This recipe is from France
A terrine is really easy to make and resemble old traditional country food your grandparents use to serve. This one is maybe not the most common one but really delicious. It is best served cold as a starter, or a side dish together with pickles and and potatoes.
This is a traditional French Alsacienne tarte flambée (flammekueche). There is 2 other ways of topping as well, if you add some mushrooms it is called forestière, and with some grated cheese it is called gratinée. The bacon or fine pork should be with not much fat if possible, and cut in thin slices.
This is a homemade Alsatian tarte flambée made in an wood-fire oven according to ancient traditions. A tarte flambée was made from the the bread dough leftovers by farmers wives. The farmers had the tarte flanbée for lunch the day after out in the fields. It is tradition to eat it with the hands folded together, and of course tastes delicious !!
