Rillette

Rillette is a preparation of meat that is typically pork or duck, which is slowly cooked in its own fat until tender. The meat is then shredded or ground and mixed with fat to create a spreadable paste. Rillettes are seasoned with various spices and sometimes include herbs, wine, or other flavorings. Traditionally served cold, rillettes are commonly spread on bread or crackers and are often enjoyed as part of a charcuterie platter. The texture is generally smooth and creamy, and the flavor is rich and savory, making rillettes a popular delicacy in French cuisine.
