The OD/Paleo thread (I think) made a mention of making 'Rillettes' and gave some links with recipes! OMG - I think I'm in heaven now.
The recipes included ones for smoked salmon and smoked trout. Now a month or two ago the supermarket was having this giant sale of vacuum-sealed bags of Alaskan wild smoked salmon, marked down from $8.99 for 6 oz to $2.99. I bought about 8-10 bags of them. I love smoked salmon.
Except a 6oz bag of salmon is so easy to consume in a single sitting, and there goes about 30g of protein or half my day's allotment, and I'd been trying to think how I could stretch it. Suddenly I learned about rillettes!
So I came home tonight and this is what I did:
Got out the food processor and put into it:
1 stick (1/4 pound) of softened butter
2 oz cream cheese (all I had left)
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp white wine
1/2 tsp sea salt
6 oz. smoked salmon
I then turned on the food processor and blended until all was smooth, and then ladled out into a ceramic bowl with a spatula, and packed it down.
Lifeform says the entire recipe has a weight of 507g and nutrients are:
Fat: 221
Carb: 2
Protein: 37
Later I took about a 100g portion, roughly 1/5, for my dinner, so dinner was
fat: about 45g
carb: no more than about .5g
protein: about 7.5g
Okay, I could have made it a little *less* fatty using only a 1/4 stick of butter and it would still have been tasty. But this had a creamy and satisfying taste, and sure gave me the great taste of the salmon without having all the 30+g of protein in a single meal. Definitely swoon-worthy.
