http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Salmon-Rillettes-11853
Ingredients:
1 celery stalk, sliced thin
1 onion, sliced thin
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 cup white wine
1 lemon, halved
6 oz salmon filet
sour cream
Dijon mustard
extra virgin olive oil
capers (were not in the initial round of rillettes)
salt and pepper
bread and/or saltines
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to simmer. Add the celery, onion, peppercorns, bay leaf, wine and lemon. Simmer for 25 minutes.
Add the salmon, cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let it stand for 10 minutes.
Remove the salmon from the pot and chill it in the refrigerator. Discard the vegetables and the water.
By hand with a fork, mix the salmon with the sour cream, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice and add salt and pepper to taste. Keep chilled until you're ready to serve.
I wanted to add capers as well but didn't have them on hand when I first made the rillettes. I bought some the next day and added them to the leftovers. I highly recommend using capers in your recipe.
I will be posting recipes from my everyday life. These will include ones that I've found in magazines, cookbooks or even made up myself. I usually try to spice up all recipes so I'll include that information too. If you end up trying one of these recipes, please write comments to let me know what worked, what didn't work and what new and interesting thing you tried.
