Duck rillettes a delectable addition to your holiday party table

To serve rillettes, simply spread a forkful on a baguette slice. A brush of Dijon mustard on the bread, or a cornichon perched on top, balances the richness of the meat. (Lynda Balslev/TasteFood)

During the hectic holiday season, cheese and charcuterie boards are a great way to entertain. Look to France for inspiration and add duck rillettes to your charcuterie board.

Rillettes are potted jars and terrines of shredded meat confit, traditionally prepared with duck as well as goose, game and pork.
