Mackerel Rillettes

A tasty, out-of-the-ordinary dish made from familiar mackerel! Rillettes is a rustic, coarse-textured spread that comes from France, traditionally made with pork, rabbit, chicken, or fish. Here I'd like to offer you a mackerel version. It's very easy to make, and it comes out tender, fragrant, and moist. I hope you'll love it.
