Preparation Steps
Cooking the Pork
In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the pork shoulder, duck fat, shallots, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook over low heat, covered, for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
Adding Cognac
Stir in the cognac or brandy and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Cooling and Storing
Transfer the rillette into serving dishes or jars, pressing it down firmly. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld.
Serving
Serve the rillette chilled or at room temperature with slices of fresh baguette.
