Meat rillette is a very tasty appetizer, a cross between a stew and a pate, with a finely textured meat that can be pulled apart into fibers. I present to you a variation of Tours pork rillette (Rillettes de Tours).
To prepare pork rillette, take the ingredients according to the list and reserve time - the meat takes a long time to cook, but your presence is necessary purely nominally - to keep an eye on the stove.
Ингредиенты
Pork pulp - 800 g
Pork ribs with fat - 300 g
Bay leaf - 2-3 pcs.
Peppercorns - 8 pcs.
Salt - 2 tsp.
Pork fat, butter for filling - 6 tbsp.
Water - 2 tbsp.
Рецепт
1. First, take the fatty meat from the ribs. Cut it into pieces of 2-3 cm, so that later it is convenient to disassemble it into fibers. Place the layer in a saucepan; it is better to use a non-stick pan or a cauldron with a thick bottom.
2. Next, cut the pork flesh.
3. Place a layer, add spices again, add some salt. If you want the rillette to be stored for a long time, add more salt.
4. Place all the meat in a saucepan, cover it with a circle cut out of baking paper, and then with a lid. Place on low heat on the stove (I poured in a couple of tablespoons of water, brought to a boil and set the temperature to a very low temperature, but you can do without water), the rillette should not be cooked - the meat simmers for a long time at the lowest temperature.
5. After 4 hours, remove the paper.
6. And we get delicious stewed pork, you can taste it for salt and add if necessary.
7. Now, using two forks or spatulas, separate each piece of meat into fibers.
8. Place in sterile jars.
9. Melt the pork fat, I also added butter to it.
10. Fill the surface of the meat in jars. Cool and screw on the boiled lids. Pork rillette can be stored in the refrigerator for a very long time.
11. Take out a jar of pork rillette if necessary and prepare sandwiches or use it as a filling for pies, pancakes, add to pasta or porridge - i.e. The range of “interests” of rillette is quite wide - it is both a pate and a stew at the same time.
12. Hearty, fatty, tasty and aromatic pork rillette is ready! Try it for your health.
13. Bon appetit!
