1 celery stalk, sliced thin
1 onion, sliced thin
1 leek, sliced thin
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns

These rillettes are a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll use less cream cheese next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rillettes turned out too dry. I think I might have overcooked the salmon.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but these rillettes were surprisingly good! The salmon was flaky and moist, and the flavors were well-balanced.
