Aspic experiment #1

Playing about with lowish-fat ideas, I've been drawn to aspic - an extremely underrated ingredient, in my opinion!

This beauty/monstrosity is a smoked salmon terrine. It's pretty much neat coarse chopped smoked salmon, fired up with a fair amount of chopped chilli and some chipolte seasoning, all held together with beef gelatine.

A night in the fridge later, a quick blast with the blowtorch to release it...
