Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 8 x 4 inch glass loaf pan. Cut the carrots into strips the length of the carrots but only 1/4 wide (should be evenly cut 1/4inch square). Parboil for 6 to 7 minutes or until cooked through but still with some texture to them. Puree ground chicken a little bit at a time in a food processor with the oil and vinegar and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add cooked shallots, garlic, bread crumbs and egg and puree until very smooth.
• Divide chicken puree into 3 bowls. In one add the carrots; in the other the green beans and leave the puree plain in the third. Using your hands mix the vegetables into the chicken mixture in each bowl making sure they are completely coated. Set a tiny bit of plain chicken puree in bottom of loaf pan, spreading it with a rubber spatula to cover entire bottom surface. Then cover with a layer of carrot, keeping carrots in as straight a line as possible. Next layer green bean mixture over carrots. With a spatula layer some plain chicken binder on top of green beans just enough to barely coat them. Then set a row of black olives down the center. Dot olives with a paper thin layer of plain chicken binder. Then repeat green bean layer, then top with the carrot layer and finally a layer of chicken binder which should entirely cover vegetables. Cover the top with buttered brown paper pressing paper directly on top of terrine. Cover top with foil.
• Tap the loaf pan on the counter a few times to eliminate air bubbles. Place terrine in a larger pan filled with enough boiling water to reach 3/4 of the way up the sides of the loaf pan. Set in oven and bake for 1 hour.
• Remove the pan from the oven. Let terrine rest for another hour or until it is cooler. Leave the foil cover on. Drain off excess water. Run a sharp knife between the terrine and the pan to loosen then carefully turn it upside down on a board. Terrine should come out easily. Pat dry with paper towels. Wrap in plastic wrap, then in foil and let it cool in fridge for 3 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Salt it and blanch the beet greens for 1 minute. Remove the leaves and immediately rinse under ice-cold water to set their color. Gently lay flat on tea towels, and pat dry with another tea towel. They should be completely dry.
• Line a buttered terrine mold with a piece of parchment. Neatly lay in the beet leaves to cover the bottom and sides completely. They should dangle over the sides a bit so that they can be folded over the completed terrine later.
• Cook the cauliflower, carrots and peas one at a time in the same pot of boiling salted water, until very tender. Remove them and immediately rinse in ice-cold water to preserve their color. Drain well. Roast the pepper until very soft. Peel, seed and cut into pieces.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.
• This terrine has five layers, so work one vegetable at a time. First put the cauliflower in the blender with 1/4 cup/60 ml cream and 1 egg. Pulse to a smooth puree. Pour into a small bowl and set aside. Rinse the blender and proceed with the remaining vegetables in the same manner, pouring their purees off into bowls and setting aside. Put the final egg and 1/4 cup/60 ml cream in the blender with the Parmesan cheese and puree to blend. Season each mixture with salt and pepper.
• If you pour one mixture on top of the other into the terrine, they will run together, so spoon them in instead. Start with the carrot, spooning it into the terrine and smoothing it out to the edges. Next, spoon over the cauliflower, followed by the peas. Spoon the Parmesan mixture over evenly, and end with the red pepper. If one leaks through to another layer, fear not: some think it is even more beautiful that way and in any case it will taste delicious. Fold the overhanging beet leaves over top to cover. Bake in a water bath until set, a good hour.
• Remove the terrine from the bath. Let it cool completely on a wire rack, and, if possible, chill in the refrigerator overnight so it sets well. At least half an hour before serving, turn the terrine out onto a cutting board or platter for serving in slices.
