How to Cook Rillettes de Porc
- Rub the meat well with plenty of salt and leave to stand for 6 hours.
- Peel and crush (mince) the garlic then cut the meat and the fat into small cubes and sprinkle with the garlic, the herbs, wine and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Mix everything well and pile into an ovenproof dish. Cover and cook in a preheated cool oven (Mk 1 - 275ºF - 140ºC) for 4 hours.
- Turn the meat into a sieve (strainer) to drain off the fat, which you should reserve for use in a moment. Shred the meat well, using two forks, then spoon it either into individual ramekin dishes or into a larger ceramic dish from which people can help themselves. Pour over enough of the reserve fat to cover the meat with a thin layer about 1/8" (3mm) thick. Chill until set.
- Remove from the fridge ½ hour before serving. Serve with cornichons (small gherkins) and French bread.

If you think your guests may not have encountered rillettes before, you might want to warn them to scrape away the layer of white surface fat before they dig into the deep, luscious meat below.
Reviews of Rillettes de Porc
![]() Thanks, folks! This stuff really is addictive! How this is comfort food not just for the stomach but for the soul. Porc rillettes speak of another time and place to me. I served what was left of these rillettes just last night to a young Frenchman who is interning for a lawyer friend of mine. He told me that it was one of the best rillettes he had ever tasted! Now that's an honor. dingerbell (1 review) |

Kansas Dry Rub Ribs are my answer to ribs that are either life-threateningly under-cooked or burned to charcoal - or just plain uninspiring!

Seville Pork Chops is an outstanding way to serve pork. The recipe may sound a bit complex but, if you prepare everything beforehand, it's quite easy

Of all Chinese dishes, Sweet and Sour Pork is probably one of the best known in the West. Sadly, it is rarely properly made in the West.
