Rillettes de canard

Rillettes are prepared from cooked, shredded meat and are served in ways similar to pâté. Ready-made rillettes are widely available from delicatessens, but they are also easy to make yourself – with the bonus that you also get to use the meat or poultry of your choice. As well as the traditional pork belly, you can make rillettes from duck, goose, rabbit or even wild boar. Served with toasted baguette and other charcuterie, they make an ideal starter.
