Rillettes

Rillettes is a French dish made of seasoned, slow-cooked meat that is shredded and mixed with its own fat to create a spreadable, pâté-like texture. Traditionally made from pork, duck, or goose, the meat is cooked until tender, then cooled and preserved in fat. The result is a rich, flavorful mixture often served on bread or crackers as an appetizer or snack. Rillettes can be found in charcuterie boards and gourmet food markets, and it highlights the French culinary tradition of preserving and enhancing the flavors of meats.
