RILLETTES
"Rillettes gets right to the heart of what's good: pork, pork fat, salt, and pepper," says chef Anthony Bourdain. "Easy and cheap to make, it's one of the great casual starters of all time." This recipe is exclusively from Bourdain.

Steps:
- Place the pork belly and shoulder in the heavy-bottomed pot. Add water and bouquet garni and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally. After 6 hours, stir in salt and pepper and remove from heat. Discard bouquet garni.
- Once meat is cool enough to handle, transfer it to the mixing bowl; using a fork, shred the meat, taking care to preserve the natural filament -- meaning you want shreds, not mush. Feel free to shovel a little still-warm pork into your face. C'mon, you know you want to.
- Next, divide the mixture among several small containers. Top each portion with a slice or two of pork fat to completely cover it, fold the mixture together a bit, then wrap each container in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and allow to sit for 3 days before serving. This is the hardest part -- just know that it only gets better as those flavors marry up in the fridge.
- To serve: Scoop some out, form it into a vaguely artful shape (with a metal ring for instance), and garnish with toasted baguette rounds and cornichons. Left covered, rillettes will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month.
PORK RILLETTES
There's nothing like a dip to please a crowd, as Mark Bittman wrote in 2011. There are the classics, of course: your French onion dips and potted shrimp. And then there's rillettes. "Rillettes are incredible: smooth, fatty and intensely flavored," he wrote. It's not a fast recipe, with the pork shoulder cooking down for almost 3 hours, but with some patience, you'll have something Mr. Bittman described as a "showstopper."

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 275º. Put the peppercorns, allspice, cloves and coriander in a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder and process until finely ground. Put the pork in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven and sprinkle with salt and the spice mixture. Add the garlic, bay leaf, rosemary and stock and put the pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, cover and put the pot in the oven. Cook, checking every now and then, until the pork is falling apart and beginning to caramelize and the stock has almost entirely evaporated (remove the cover if necessary to get the liquid to evaporate; the bottom of the pot should be just about all melted fat when you're done), 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Strain the mixture; reserve the fat and discard the garlic, bay leaf, rosemary and any gristle. Transfer the pork to a bowl and mash it into small shreds with the back of a fork. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved fat and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if you like (keep in mind that the colder you serve the rillettes, the less salty they will taste). Pack the rillettes into a mason jar or another container and refrigerate (covered tightly, they will keep for at least a week). Serve cold or at room temperature.
PORK RILLETTES
Adapted from La Vie Rustic by Georgeanne Brennan Feel free to adjust the seasonings. The juniper berries lend a nice flavor, but may be hard to track down, so they can be omitted. I like allspice so I added that. Bay leaf or shallots can be cooked with the pork, if you wish. I chose to add some thyme branches. If you're avoiding alcohol you can use apple cider with a squirt of lemon in place of the brandy or whiskey, and the wine. Note: The original recipe in La Vie Rustic noted that after the pork shoulder is cooked, in step 6, to drain the pork shoulder in a mesh sieve set over a bowl to collect the juices and fat, then shred the meat and set it aside. When the liquid cools and the fat separates, warm the juices in a pan with the shredded pieces of pork shoulder, adding 2 - 4 tablespoons of fat, to make it spreadable. I didn't get any liquid when I made it either time I made it, but if you end up with liquid, you can follow those directions.

Steps:
- Mix together the brandy or whiskey with the garlic, salt, pepper, juniper, and allspice berries with the pork cubes in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- In a large saucepan (that has a lid) or a medium-sized casserole, heat the pork belly pieces with 1/3 cup (80ml) water over low heat. Cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, encouraging the pork pieces to give up their fat. If the water evaporates, add a little more to help the fat render.
- Preheat the oven to 250ºF (120ºC).
- Add the macerated pork and any liquid to the pan along with the thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, for another 15 minutes, until the pieces of pork are cooked on the outside. Cover the pan and put it in the oven.
- Lift the lid after 1 1/2 hours of cooking. Press on the chunks of fat with a fork to release more of their fat and encourage them to break down. Add the wine, replace the lid, and bake the pork for another 1 to 2 hours, until the pork is very soft.
- Remove the pork from the oven. Pick out the thyme branches and discard. (The original recipe said at this point to drain the pork through a sieve, over a bowl, to collect the juices, but mine didn't have enough to warrant that. If yours does, see headnote for more information on that.) Press on any visible chunks of fat to get the fat out of them, then remove them from the pan and discard them.
- Pour most of the fat out of the pan into a small bowl and reserve. Scrape the meat chunks, and any pan fat, juices and brown bits, into the bowl of a stand mixer. The spices should all be very soft and dissolved, so it's not a problem to include them.
- Mix the meat on low-to-medium speed with the paddle attachment until well-mashed. (You can also make this by hand, mashing the meat with a fork.) The mixture should resemble dry tuna salad. Add enough of the reserved liquefied fat to make it juicy and moist. I ended up adding about 3 tablespoons, but it'll probably need between 2 and 4 tablespoons. The more fat you add, the richer and creamier it'll be.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 325 F. In a large ovenproof baking dish, mix all the ingredients.
- Tightly cover the dish with foil or a well-fitting lid.
- Cook in the center of the oven for 3 hours, until the meat is falling apart. It is imperative to keep checking the dish to make sure the meat is not drying out as it cooks; add more water if needed. Once cooked, remove the dish from the heat, leave the foil or lid in place and allow the meat to cool in the dish for 30 to 45 minutes until it is warm.
- Remove the lid and discard the bay leaf and duck bones and any little pieces of meat which may have dried too far.
- Shred and stir the meat and fat with a large fork until it resembles a chunky, creamy spread, if correctly cooked this will be very easy to do.
- Place the rillettes in a beautiful serving pot and level with the back of a spoon.
- Pour any remaining fat in the cooking dish over the surface to help keep the rillettes moist.
- Chill for at least 24 hours before serving.

PORK RILLETTES
Rillettes, the French version of pulled pork turned into a rich spread, demands the same piercing acidity and almost chalky mineral notes to cut like a laser through the fattiness. Though rillettes are often served with Chablis or Sancerre, bubbles make the combination even better. Pork is the easiest, though duck and rabbit are delicious, too. Just remember that you need more-or-less equal parts fat and lean.

Steps:
- Coarsely dice pork and place in a heavy 4-quart pot. Add mustard seeds, pepper, salt, garlic and two of the bay leaves. Mix well. Add wine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a very slow simmer and cook, skimming any foam, for 30 minutes. Add 1 cup water, return to a very slow simmer, cover and cook for 2 1/2 hours, stirring once or twice during this time.
- Uncover and increase heat to medium. Cook 20 to 30 minutes more until any liquid is pure fat, not water. You can tell if you look at a spoonful of the liquid and there are no little water bubbles. Taste the fat and adjust the seasonings if needed; do not under-season because the rillettes will be served fairly cold. Set aside to cool 1 hour. Remove bay leaves.
- Mash and shred the mixture, using your fingers, 2 forks, or (what I think works really well) a pastry cutter. Transfer to a crock or glass jar with a lid that clamps tight, pressing down so there are no air bubbles. Top with the remaining bay leaf, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Reserve 1 bay leaf, then tip everything except the duck fat and serving suggestions into a bowl and season generously. If you have time, cover and leave the meat to marinate overnight in the fridge - however, this isn't essential.
- Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Tip the meat and all the juices into a flameproof casserole dish with a lid. Pour over 250ml water, or enough to just cover the meat, and place the pan on a low heat. As soon as it starts to bubble, pop on the lid and put in the oven for 2½-3 hrs, removing it once to give it a good stir.
- The meat should now be very tender. Leave it to cool slightly in the pan, then drain over a bowl to catch the fat and juices. Shred the pork by hand or put in a food processor and pulse a few times to shred, but don't overwork it into a paste. Taste, add extra seasoning if needed, then press meat into 2 small or 1 large serving dish, or pack into individual ramekins. Pour the juices and fat back over the meat, and put in the fridge for at least 2 hrs for the fat to harden. (To keep the rillettes for a week or so, cover with a layer of duck fat, and lay a bay leaf and a couple of juniper berries on top for decoration.)
- Serve with sourdough toast, cornichons and a few bitter leaves (such as curly endive, rocket and radicchio), in a sharp mustardy dressing.

Steps:
- Place all the meat, fat and bones into a large bowl. Add the salt, sugar and bay leaves. Using a spice grinder, grind the juniper berries, black peppercorns, cloves and nutmeg to a smooth powder and add it to the meat. Get your hands in there and mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl in cling film and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day preheat the oven to 140C/280F/Gas 1 and transfer the cured meat mixture to a heavy-bottomed pan (preferably cast iron). Add the wine, thyme, garlic and duck or goose fat. Place the pan over a low heat and stir constantly for a few minutes. When the rillette mixture is close to boiling, lay the pork skin on the surface and put the lid on the pan. Place into the oven and cook for 2½-3 hours.
- Remove from the oven, take off the lid and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the skin, bones and bay leaves and strain the liquid through a colander. Skim the fat off the liquid and set aside. Put the meat into a bowl with the remaining liquid and blend with an electric hand blender. Gradually add the reserved fat until the mixture is soft
- Add the ground spices, taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
- Line a terrine mould with cling film and fill it with the warm rillettes mixture. Place in a fridge until set. The rillettes can be eaten as soon as set but will improve with age, and is best eaten at least one week after cooking. Serve with toast and pickles.

- Coat pork with salt in a non-reactive container that holds it snugly, add herbs, cover and refrigerate to cure (4-6 hours).
- Heat back-fat in a saucepan over low-medium heat with 2 tbsp water and add more water as it evaporates until fat renders (about 1 hour). You should have about 250ml melted lard.
- Preheat oven to 150C. Rinse pork under cold running water to remove excess brine and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve herbs and garlic. Cut pork into 6cm cubes and place in a roasting pan that fits it snugly, pour rendered fat over, scatter with reserved herbs and garlic, then roast, turning occasionally, until meat is very tender and pulls apart easily (3½-3¾ hours).
- Remove pork from fat and set aside on a tray to cool briefly. Strain fat through a fine sieve and set aside. Shred pork using two forks, pulling meat apart along the grain, then divide among 4-6 individual ¾-cup jars or ramekins, pressing on pork to pack lightly. Pour fat over each jar to cover pork, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to set (about 4 hours). Serve with fresh or toasted sliced baguette. Rillettes will keep sealed for up to a month.

- Place the cubed pork in a large mixing bowl and add all remaining ingredients except for the lard. Use your hands to mix and rub the pork until it is thoroughly combined with the spices. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 days.
- Remove the pork and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes while you prepare the lard. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.Melt the lard slowly in a saucepan just until liquefied.
- Place the pork in a Dutch oven, spread out evenly, and pour the melted lard over it making sure the meat is completely submerged under the lard. If not, melt some more lard and add it. Cover the Dutch oven with the lid, place it in the preheated oven and cook for 2 ½ to 3 hours or until the pork is fork tender. Remove from the oven and let it cool down until cool down until cool enough to handle. Discard the juniper berries.Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to a chopping board and finely chop the meat.
- Use a ladle to skim the fat off the top of the liquid in the Dutch oven, being very careful not to scoop up the liquid with the fat. The fat will be floating on top and is fairly clear in color while the liquid underneath it is dark. Set the skimmed fat aside. As the liquid cools down any remaining lard on top will solidify and you can remove the rest. Pour the cooking liquid into a measuring cup and set aside.

- Preheat oven to 275°. Place pork shoulder and belly and skin in a large saucepan. Tuck in thyme and bay leaves and add ½ cup water. Cover and braise, stirring occasionally, until meat is falling-apart tender and fat is soft, 2 ½–3 hours. Remove from oven, pluck out thyme and bay leaves and let meat rest until cool enough to handle.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and skin to a large bowl; pour fat and any cooking liquid in pot into a heatproof measuring cup (you should have about 1 cup).
- Shred meat with a potato masher; do not hold back. Pour in ¾ cup fat and mash meat a little bit more—mixture should look and feel almost pasty (but in a good way). Season with salt, nutmeg, and a splash of lemon juice, which will temper the richness of the meat. Taste and adjust as necessary (err on the side of too salty—it will mellow as it cools).
- Pack rillette mixture into jars, pushing out any air bubbles. Top each with a few spoonfuls of reserved fat and chill until set, at least 2 hours.
