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.
