ROASTED PEPPERS

SALMON RILLETTES

Pre-heat your grill to high and place the peppers underneath, skin side up.

Cook until lightly charred, then remove and place in a paper bag to cool for 10 minutes. Peel and dice the peppers then put into a bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix.

Place the salmon fillets in a wide, shallow saucepan and just cover with court bouillon. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat and leave to cool. Flake the fish and remove any bones.

Cook the shallots in a little butter with the thyme until soft but not coloured. Place the smoked salmon in a food processor with the shallots and remaining butter, lemon juice, egg yolks, black pepper, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and cream. Blend together until all the ingredients are incorporated, but not smooth.

Transfer to a bowl and fold in the smoked salmon, chives and roasted peppers mixture with all the juices. Pack into a terrine dish or loaf tin, smooth the surface and flood with clarified butter. Chill in the fridge until set.

Unmould the rillettes and cut into slices. Serve with toasted country bread.
