Rillettes de Tours

Rillettes de Tours are a classic French spread from the Loire Valley – aromatic, juicy and tender. Pork is slowly cooked in its own juices for hours until it falls apart and is processed with spices and a little white wine into a delicious, spicy-creamy confit. Served on fresh country bread and accompanied by red wine, this recipe will give you pure French joie de vivre!
