Many deli recipes of the modern cuisine have a very interesting history; rillettes are also not an exception, as their history goes back many centuries. Beginning from the 15th century, this dish has been traditionally cooked using pork (by the way, Rabelais, a major French Renaissance writer, called it "the brown jam from the pig"). The meat was salted and cubed, then cooked slowly over low heat until very tender, and blended with the warm cooking fat to form a rustic paste. The technology of preparation, that has been implemented (in particular, the covering with melted fat), provided long-term storage of the product. It was found out later that only thanks to this special preservation method the taste of the dish becomes very intense. Thus, we can enjoy it in the 21th century, putting a special emphasis on duck rillettes.
It is an interesting fact that in the past this exclusive appetizer was called "pate of the poor" because of the consistency, which was not that smooth as the texture of real pate, but fibrous. However, it is very appreciated among the gourmets. So, what is a rillette now, and what is it made from in the 21th century? In spite of using pork earlier, as for now it is usually made from fatty meats, nevertheless, the choice is various: goose, chicken, rabbit, game birds, and sometimes with fish such as salmon, tuna, or anchovies.
