Goose pâté à la rillettes
Goose pâté à la rillettes is a distinctive meat delicacy made from roasted goose and goose liver, flavored with cognac and Provençal herbs. Thanks to a layer of goose fat, it remains beautifully juicy and is suitable as a festive appetizer or a treat with saltine crackers and a croissant.

Method · 22 min
- Heat half of the goose fat in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and Provencal herbs and cook gently for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft.
- Increase the heat slightly, add the livers and fry them for a few minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked on the outside and remain slightly pink on the inside (if you are not sure, cut them open).
- Set aside, add the cognac, season with salt and pepper, and scrape any crumbs from the bottom of the saucepan. Let cool.
- Blend the mixture roughly in a food processor or chop finely. Add the roasted goose meat, mix and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Divide the mixture into sealable jars and pour the remaining warmed goose fat over the surface. Let cool completely, seal and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the mixture to solidify and the flavors to meld.
- Serve with saltine crackers and cornbread.
