Beehive Smoked-Trout Rillettes
James Carrier
Notes: For an appetizer, spoon the trout rillettes (or pipe through a pastry bag with a plain, round tip at least 1/2 in. wide) in about 1-tablespoon mounds onto the concave side of Belgian endive leaves; garnish with capers. Or use the rillettes as a sandwich spread. If making up to 2 days ahead, cover and chill.
