PORK RILLETTES
There's nothing like a dip to please a crowd, as Mark Bittman wrote in 2011. There are the classics, of course: your French onion dips and potted shrimp. And then there's rillettes. "Rillettes are incredible: smooth, fatty and intensely flavored," he wrote. It's not a fast recipe, with the pork shoulder cooking down for almost 3 hours, but with some patience, you'll have something Mr. Bittman described as a "showstopper."

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 275º. Put the peppercorns, allspice, cloves and coriander in a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder and process until finely ground. Put the pork in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven and sprinkle with salt and the spice mixture. Add the garlic, bay leaf, rosemary and stock and put the pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, cover and put the pot in the oven. Cook, checking every now and then, until the pork is falling apart and beginning to caramelize and the stock has almost entirely evaporated (remove the cover if necessary to get the liquid to evaporate; the bottom of the pot should be just about all melted fat when you're done), 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Strain the mixture; reserve the fat and discard the garlic, bay leaf, rosemary and any gristle. Transfer the pork to a bowl and mash it into small shreds with the back of a fork. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved fat and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if you like (keep in mind that the colder you serve the rillettes, the less salty they will taste). Pack the rillettes into a mason jar or another container and refrigerate (covered tightly, they will keep for at least a week). Serve cold or at room temperature.
RILLETTES (ANTHONY BOURDAIN AT LES HALLES)
I quote Anthony Bourdain "Jesus this dish is easy." A kind of pate like dish. Smear on toasted baguette croutons, have a cocktail and let the party begin...this is a WONDERFUL appetizer!!

Steps:
- Place the pork belly and shoulder in a heavy bottomed pot. Add water and the bouquet garni and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- After 6 hours, stir in the salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Discard the bouquet garni.
- Once the meat is cooled enough to handle, transfer it to a mixing bowl, using forks, shred the meat (not mush, SHREDS is the key)
- Shovel some still warm pork into your mouth -- you know you want to.
- Divide the mixture among several small containers. Top each portion with a slice or two of pork fat to completely cover it, fold the mixture together a bit then wrap each container in plastic wrap.
- Place in the refrigerator and let them sit for 3 days before serving. Don't cheat on the 3 days because it just gets better as the flavors marry up!

Steps:
- Reserve 1 bay leaf, then tip everything except the duck fat and serving suggestions into a bowl and season generously. If you have time, cover and leave the meat to marinate overnight in the fridge - however, this isn't essential.
- Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Tip the meat and all the juices into a flameproof casserole dish with a lid. Pour over 250ml water, or enough to just cover the meat, and place the pan on a low heat. As soon as it starts to bubble, pop on the lid and put in the oven for 2½-3 hrs, removing it once to give it a good stir.
- The meat should now be very tender. Leave it to cool slightly in the pan, then drain over a bowl to catch the fat and juices. Shred the pork by hand or put in a food processor and pulse a few times to shred, but don't overwork it into a paste. Taste, add extra seasoning if needed, then press meat into 2 small or 1 large serving dish, or pack into individual ramekins. Pour the juices and fat back over the meat, and put in the fridge for at least 2 hrs for the fat to harden. (To keep the rillettes for a week or so, cover with a layer of duck fat, and lay a bay leaf and a couple of juniper berries on top for decoration.)
- Serve with sourdough toast, cornichons and a few bitter leaves (such as curly endive, rocket and radicchio), in a sharp mustardy dressing.

PORK RILLETTES
Rillettes, the French version of pulled pork turned into a rich spread, demands the same piercing acidity and almost chalky mineral notes to cut like a laser through the fattiness. Though rillettes are often served with Chablis or Sancerre, bubbles make the combination even better. Pork is the easiest, though duck and rabbit are delicious, too. Just remember that you need more-or-less equal parts fat and lean.

Steps:
- Coarsely dice pork and place in a heavy 4-quart pot. Add mustard seeds, pepper, salt, garlic and two of the bay leaves. Mix well. Add wine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a very slow simmer and cook, skimming any foam, for 30 minutes. Add 1 cup water, return to a very slow simmer, cover and cook for 2 1/2 hours, stirring once or twice during this time.
- Uncover and increase heat to medium. Cook 20 to 30 minutes more until any liquid is pure fat, not water. You can tell if you look at a spoonful of the liquid and there are no little water bubbles. Taste the fat and adjust the seasonings if needed; do not under-season because the rillettes will be served fairly cold. Set aside to cool 1 hour. Remove bay leaves.
- Mash and shred the mixture, using your fingers, 2 forks, or (what I think works really well) a pastry cutter. Transfer to a crock or glass jar with a lid that clamps tight, pressing down so there are no air bubbles. Top with the remaining bay leaf, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.

- Place the cubed pork in a large mixing bowl and add all remaining ingredients except for the lard. Use your hands to mix and rub the pork until it is thoroughly combined with the spices. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 days.
- Remove the pork and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes while you prepare the lard. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.Melt the lard slowly in a saucepan just until liquefied.
- Place the pork in a Dutch oven, spread out evenly, and pour the melted lard over it making sure the meat is completely submerged under the lard. If not, melt some more lard and add it. Cover the Dutch oven with the lid, place it in the preheated oven and cook for 2 ½ to 3 hours or until the pork is fork tender. Remove from the oven and let it cool down until cool down until cool enough to handle. Discard the juniper berries.Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to a chopping board and finely chop the meat.
- Use a ladle to skim the fat off the top of the liquid in the Dutch oven, being very careful not to scoop up the liquid with the fat. The fat will be floating on top and is fairly clear in color while the liquid underneath it is dark. Set the skimmed fat aside. As the liquid cools down any remaining lard on top will solidify and you can remove the rest. Pour the cooking liquid into a measuring cup and set aside.
