The best way to prepare zucchinis for a terrine is to cut off the ends, roughly chop them, and then blend them. After blending, make sure to thoroughly squeeze out the excess water using a strainer or kitchen towel to avoid a watery texture in your dish.
Can I use other types of fish instead of smoked salmon in this recipe?
