Rilletes formed into thin cakes and fried. This allows the fat to drain off during cooking and leaves crunchy and tasty discs of lean meat which can be served with mashed potato (purée).

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 8 min.

Heat the serving plates.

Flatten 400 g rillettes into thin cakes in a non-stick pan.

Stage 2 - 15 min.

Put the pan on high heat and allow the fat to run out, mopping it up from time to time with absorbant paper.

Stage 3

Stop when the cakes are well fried.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Place a disc onto each plate.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Cover with 2 spoonsful of hot mashed potato (or potato rissoles, if you know how to make them).

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Top with a second rillettes cake.

Serve with a little green salad.

Remarks

You will notice that the rillettes you buy in the shops have a lot of fat and not much meat, so it is far better to make your own rillettes, if you can.

And to drink?

A red wine with plenty of tannin, such as a Cahors.

Keeping: A few minutes once cooked, but they can also be reheated.

Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version...

Leavened bread

It might be harder to achieve good results than with traditional yeast bread, but what a flavour! It also keeps better. This recipe is designed for baking bread in a wood-fired oven but, of course, you can use the conventional oven in your kitchen.
