1 teaspoon white pepper
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 egg
Handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Fatback, thinly sliced, or uncured bacon strips, for covering the base of the terrine

Caul fat is a thin membrane that surrounds the internal organs in some animals, such as cows, sheep and pigs. It is often used as a casing for sausages or roulades, or as a top layer for pates. It does not have much flavor, so its primary purpose is either to hold something together or to provide some fat/moisture as the food cooks. If you cannot find caul fat, you can make the terrine without it.
