Rillettes are a French classic: gently cooked pork, finely shredded into a smooth, spreadable texture. These come from De Veurn'Ambachtse and are 98.27% pork. The meat cooks gently for hours in its own fat, without a mincer or cutter: just time and craftsmanship.

Taste

Rich and savoury, with the soft, melting texture rillettes are known for. Spices, onion and leek add depth, and a little lemon oil keeps it fresh. There's barely any sugar: the flavour comes from the meat itself.

How I serve them

• On bread: spread thickly on a slice of fresh country bread or toasted sourdough.
• With something sharp: gherkins, pickled onions or a spoonful of red onion chutney on the side.
• On a board: next to charcuterie, cheese and a few radishes.
• On toasts: on small toasts as a bite with a glass of wine.

Serve the rillettes chilled and put the jar back in the fridge once opened.
