Fried rillettes
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).

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.
