Rabbit Rillettes

Rillettes are threads of slow-cooked flesh bound with some of their fat, usually supported by extra pork fat and seasoned simply with salt, pepper, quatre-épices and cognac or eau de vie. Packed into sanitised pots or jars and sealed with a layer of fat, their shelf life is perhaps a week or so under domestic refrigeration. Serve rillettes from their pots with sourdough toast and cornichons.
