Indulgent French pork and duck spread, ideal for a gourmet toast starter.
Ingredients:
  • 500g pork belly, rind removed, cut into small pieces
  • 3 duck legs*
  • 100ml dry white wine
  • 200ml chicken style liquid stock
  • 3 sprigs of thyme
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 0.63 gm ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 small brioche, sliced, toasted, or other toasts
  • Cornichons*, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • Heat up your oven to 140°C.
  • In a baking dish, combine pork, duck legs, wine, stock, herbs, spices, and garlic. Cover and bake for 4 hours. Strain the meat, save the cooking liquid. Shred the meat with forks or pulse in a food processor until coarse. Season while warm, then divide into six 100ml terrines or dishes, pressing down firmly.
  • Chill the reserved cooking fat until it mostly solidifies, then pour over the duck rillettes. Refrigerate for a couple of days to enhance the flavors. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and enjoy with brioche toasts and optional cornichons.
