Vegetable Terrine on Endive
This is a bit time consuming but the end product is not only delicious but really beautiful. As an hors d’oeuvre serve a thin slice on an endive leaf with a dot of sauce vert. Serve a full slice as an appetizer course with very thinly sliced cucumbers surrounding the pate. Or serve a slice on top of salad as a light first course.

You can use three sauté pans to make each vegetable at once or you can use just one pan preparing one vegetable at a time giving the terrine time to set before making the next vegetable for the second layer and then again for the third layer.
Sauté Carrot Layer vegetables - Onion, Garlic, Butter, Olive Oil and Carrots - until vegetables are soft.
Sauté Cauliflower Layer vegetables - Onion, Garlic, Butter, Olive Oil and Cauliflower - until vegetables are soft.
Sauté Broccoli Layer vegetables - Onion, Garlic, Butter, Olive Oil and Broccoli Florets - until vegetables are soft.
Puree each vegetable separately until smooth and add to each vegetable Non-Flavored Gelatin softened with ⅛ cup warm water, Mayonnaise and Cream Cheese. Blend well and taste - adjust salt and pepper.
Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray and pour vegetable puree filling pan ⅓ refrigerate to set for 30 minutes then add the second vegetable puree and refrigerate 30 minutes before finishing with the third layer. I like to place the green on the bottom then the white and finally the orange but you can make the layers as you like.
Variation
You can also make a terrine using different vegetables such as only peppers – red, green and yellow peppers.
