Meta TitleDuck Rillettes - wilfriedscooking
Meta DescriptionDuck rillettes are made from slow cooked duck, with optional some slow cooked pork and emulsified in fat and some broth, Duck rillettes have some commonalities with duck pate, although they are distinctly different. The main difference is that duck rillettes use pieces of slow cooked duck. Duck pate starts with raw duck meat pieces before cooking it au-bain-marie. In both cases spices and a brandy are added as well as enough fat.

This is to keep the rillettes in good condition for a long time in the fridge. ### Notes **Method**: oven baking **Food allergy & intolerance information**: none ### Remarks It is optional how much pork meat to add. leaving out the pork will leave more of the duck taste, but pork makes the taste rounder. Optionally add duck foie gras up to 20% of the total mixture. It provides for an excellent taste enhancement.
