Coriander & Star Anise Pork Rillettes

In my first book, the French Brasserie Cookbook, I included a recipe for a classic duck rillettes, but in this book I wanted to bring a different and more modern character to this popular dish by replacing the herbs with spices such as star anise. It brings an exotic yet delicate scent that goes perfectly with the pork. Use the whole spice rather than ground as the latter just doesn’t have the same depth of flavour.
