Accompaniments

Method

Preparing Pork Rillette

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot, combine the pork shoulder, shallots, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add enough water to cover the pork. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and cover. Cook for about 3 hours until the pork is tender.

  2. 2

    Shred the Pork

    Remove the pork from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat using two forks and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Rillette

    In a bowl, mix the shredded pork with duck fat (or butter) and cognac. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Assembling the Charcuterie Duo

  1. 4

    Plate the Ingredients

    On a large serving board or platter, arrange the pork rillette, Jamón Serrano, whole grain mustard, house pickles, and crostini.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the charcuterie duo with a small knife for spreading the rillette and enjoy with the mustard, pickles, and crostini.
