Cooking Lesson – Pate and Terrain (sic)

Wednesday, 10 June, 2015

Today, there is the first cooking lesson from Doug. Julie and some others elect to have a massage instead. There are six of us attending the lesson. We are not doing Pate or Terrain (sic) but instead Rillettes – Rabbit and Salmon.

Starts with Pork Belly for the fat
Rabbit Legs
In the pot
Poached Salmon
Some Smoked Salmon for flavour
Onion and butter for the Salmon. My contribution
Thyme added to the rabbit

We finished with the rabbit in the oven and the salmon cooking.

Lunch Spread

After lunch, I had the typical nap. I was awakened by a knock at the door to say that cooking was continuing. I got back to the kitchen a bit late.

Rabbit with skin and bones (mostly) removed and mashed up

Doug will carry on with the rest of the preparation.
