Delicious mackerel rillettes for an appetizer party or a nice starter.

Ingredients for 4 servings

1 can of mackerel in white wine
100 g of fresh cheese
1 tbsp of mustard with cider vinegar
2 sprigs of tarragon
Salt pepper

Step-by-step directions

1- Finely chop the tarragon

2- Open the can of mackerel in white wine and crush the flesh with a fork, leaving a few pieces if you like.

3- Put the flesh in a bowl and add the fresh cheese, tarragon, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix everything and refrigerate for at least one hour

4- Serve the rillettes on slices of toasted bread or directly in the can if you find one that looks nice.
You can replace the fresh cheese with butter, but personally, I prefer fresh cheese.
For the mustard, I chose old-fashioned mustard with cider vinegar, more original than traditional mustard and which goes well with tarragon.
For this rillettes recipe, I chose mackerel, but you can replace it with sardine or tuna

Chef Patrick's Comment

Here is a simple and tasty recipe, spread on slices of toasted country bread then cut into 2cm squares with a small piece of fruit apple on each one, a small pick inserted into each square and you will have a nice starter or greedy appetizers.
