If you're anything like me, you have no idea what a Rillette is. Thankfully, Wikipedia is here to help.
It seems that a triditional Rillette is made of salted, cured, and slow-cooked pork that is shredded and mixed with fat to make a delicious spread. Sounds pretty good to me. Whether or not the salmon rillette turns out well, I may look into finding some pork rillette somewhere.
Anyways, it's a triditional French dish, which is pretty obvious from the name. I hope to make the recipe this weekend, and then I'll be able to tell you what it's like. I'll take some pictures too.
It looks quite heavy though.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sure it is. Don't worry, I won't eat it all myself. I'll have to bring it into work and give some away. The stuff is actually made to last a while too. It has a lot of salt in it, which inhibits bacterial growth, and you're supposed to store it in a dish and put a thick layer of fat over the top, so the fat acts as a seal, and keeps the meat fresh inside. They say that Rillette can last up to a couple weeks in the refrigerator like that.
