This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I prefer simpler dishes that don't require a lot of ingredients and steps.

I'm not sure if I like the texture of the rillettes. It's a bit too mushy for my taste.

The cooking time seemed a bit long. I think I could have gotten away with cooking the pork for a shorter amount of time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rillettes turned out a bit dry. Maybe I should have added more fat to the mixture.

These rillettes are a perfect make-ahead dish for busy weeknights. I usually make a big batch on the weekend and then enjoy them throughout the week.

I love the rich, porky flavor of these rillettes. I can't wait to try them with different herbs and spices to create different flavor combinations.

I added a bit of chopped pistachios to my rillettes for an extra crunch. It gave the dish a delightful textural contrast.

I've tried many rillettes de porc recipes, but this one is hands down the best. The meat was fall-apart tender and had an incredible depth of flavor. Will definitely be making this again!
