Pt en crote is a pt or terrine wrapped in a pastry crust. Sounds simple, right? And yet its the pinnacle of the charcutiers craft. Few preparations have as many different components, and to make a decent pt en crote, you need to get every last detail right. For the most beautiful (and delicious) versions of the dish, every element has to be executed near perfectly. Thats why we recruited Kevin Smith of Seattles Butcher & Cleaver to show us how to make his award-winning pt en crotea labor-intensive process that takes at least 4 days. The mosaic-like pt en crotebeautifully seasoned and spiced pt dotted with foie gras, boozy prunes, pistachios, and boudin noir, enveloped in a seamless buttery pastry crustis a work of art. #beastandcleaver #pateencroute #charcuterie Sign up for a ChefSteps Studio Pass subscription: https://www.chefsteps.com/studiopass Recipe: Pt en Crote: https://chfstps.co/48auyW2 [Time codes] 0:00 - What Is Pt en Crote? 1:12 - How to Make Pork Farce 4:23 - How to Make Boudin Noir 6:07 - How to Make Aspic 9:35 - How to Make the Pastry for Pt en Crote 16:07 - How to Make the Decorative Pastry Pieces 18:41 - How to Make and Apply the Tuile Paste 22:28 - How to Make Two Types of Egg Washes 23:33 - How to Assemble Pt en Crote 32:37 - How to Bake Pt en Crote 34:50 - How to Cool and Add Aspic to Pt en Crote 37:27 - How to Use a Blowtorch to Unmold Pt en Crote 39:05 - The Big Reveal: Cut and Serve Equipment: Buy a meat grinder: https://www.amazon.com/LEM-Products-17801-Stainless-Electric/dp/B074FBH56N?tag=chefsteps02-20Buy a Breville Bakery Chef Stand Mixer: https://breville.oie8.net/n1g6B7 Buy a stencil: https://www.jbprince.com/pastry-tools-and-equipment/checkerboard-decor-grill.asp Buy a pt mold: https://www.amazon.com/Pate-Terrine-hinges-Tinned-Steel/dp/B001B7S5BM??tag=chefsteps02-20 Buy a blowtorch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HVZR3DI?tag=chefsteps02-20 Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/chefsteps https://www.facebook.com/Chefsteps ChefSteps 101: Through science, entertainment, and industry experience, we strive to help every home cook reach their full potential.
