Pork Rillettes: Simmer a couple of pounds of pork neck bones for about 4 hours with roughly chopped carrots, celery, bay leaf, onions. (I used neck bones because we had them, they weren't in the actual recipe.) Strain and cool. Pull meat off of the neck bones. The next day, chop 1 1/2 pounds of pork roast and 1/3 pound pork belly, one large onion. Saute in 1 cup rendered pork fat for about 6 hours on low heat. Add pork from neck bones about halfway through. At this point, the meat should be spreadable. Pack it in little mason jars. (should fill 6 or 7). (The recipe then calls to render another cup of pork fat and pour over top of rillettes to create a seal for storing. We didn't do this because we served the whole thing at a party). These make a great sandwich when spread on warm bread with slices of tomato and grainy mustard. It's lite too. |
