Salmon Rillettes

Ingredients

pinch of the seasoning mixture into a processor and blend it all into a very smooth puree. Add the shredded smoked salmon to the processor and process with rapid on and off pulses just until the mixture is blended. There should be visible shreds of smoked salmon. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Gently fold salmon roe into the mixture until blended, taking care not to crush the eggs. Adjust the seasoning. Spoon mixture into a 4-cup souffle dish, straight-sided gratin dish, or casserole, lightly tapping mold on towel lined work surface to eliminate any air bubbles. Cover the dish with a plastic wrap and chill. (The Court Bouillon can be prepared 1 or 2 days ahead.) For Toast Strips: ================= Preheat oven to 160ÂșC . Rub a baking sheet with a thin film of olive oil. Arrange the bread strips on the baking sheet and bake them on the center rack of the oven, without turning, until lightly golden (15 to 20 minutes.) Remove the rillettes from the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving. Dip the serving spoon in cold water and scoop onto cool plates. Serve with warm toast strips.
