Salmon Spread

Salmon Spread

I thought that was pretty funny since meaty pâtés and rillettes aren’t upscale delicacies in France, but are considered everyday fare. And some of the best pâtés I’ve had were country-style spreads, or rillettes. Rillettes are usually made with long-cooked salted pork, rabbit, or goose, which is them shredded then mashed with fat to produce a rich, rustic paste for spreading on bread.And easy to make. I find it’s pretty impressive instead of the usually cubes of cheese or other ho-hum appetizers that get served at parties. Plus there’s little to whine about, since it literally takes just a few minutes to put together. And who doesn’t appreciate less-whining around the holidays?As mentioned, I haven’t tried variations on this recipe, except I did use smoked trout once along with the steamed salmon, and no one was the wiser. Don’t tell David, but you could probably get away with using canned salmon if fresh salmon is hard to come by where you live.
