Rillette de Canard

Created by: Howcan Team

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs duck legs
  • 1/2 lb pork belly, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs of thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Season the duck legs with salt and pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven, place the duck legs, pork belly, onion, garlic, thyme, and bay leaf.
  • Pour the white wine over the mixture.
  • Cover the Dutch oven and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the duck meat is very tender and falling off the bone.
  • Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and let it cool slightly.

  • Add 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid to the shredded meat and mix well. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the rillette to a serving dish or individual ramekins. Press the rillette down lightly to pack it in and smooth the top.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the rillette de canard with crusty bread, cornichons, and Dijon mustard.

Rillette de Canard, a classic French dish, has a rich history dating back to the 15th century. Originally made with pork, it evolved to include duck as well. The meat is seasoned, slow-cooked, and then shredded, resulting in a spreadable delicacy. Renowned chefs like Paul Bocuse and Alain Ducasse have popularized this dish, and it's a staple in the Loire Valley and throughout France. The best version of this dish can be found in traditional French bistros and charcuteries. The key to a perfect rillette lies in the quality of the duck, slow cooking, and the right balance of seasoning. It's a must-try for any food enthusiast visiting France.
