Crab Rillettes

FAUCHON crab rillettes embody artisanal expertise and a passion for maritime traditions. Rigorously selected, exceptional shellfish are caught exclusively off the Northeast Atlantic, following seasonal principles and short, local supply chains. These crab-rich rillettes are cooked with cream and shallots seasoned with white pepper to create a delicious and perfectly balanced dish. The precision of our artisans' skills is evident in every step of the recipe, from browning to reducing our seafood dishes. Artisanal and refined, FAUCHON crab rillettes are part of the local gastronomic heritage, offering traditional and memorable flavors.
The crab, master of the tides, is a symbol of resilience and oceanic bounty. In maritime mythology, the crab occupies a prominent place in many legends. Known for its robust shell and tender flesh, it is highly prized by discerning epicureans. FAUCHON crab rillettes take you to the wild beaches of Brittany, where the cry of seagulls punctuates the day. Upon opening the jar, fresh, salty aromas immediately evoke these maritime landscapes. The delicate yet rough texture of the crab meat, enhanced with a subtle hint of lemon and spices, recalls moments spent enjoying fresh seafood with friends.
They are perfect for a chic aperitif or an outdoor meal, bringing a touch of freshness and authenticity to your recipes. Choose FAUCHON crab rillettes for a spicy and gourmet getaway worthy of the finest tables!

Our recipe idea:

FAUCHON-Style Crab Roll

The FAUCHON-Style Crab Roll is a delicious reinterpretation of the classic lobster roll, showcasing rich and refined crab rillettes. To make it, start by cutting brioche buns or hot dog rolls in half, then lightly toast them in butter or olive oil to obtain a golden, crispy texture. In a bowl, combine the Fauchon crab rillettes with a little finely chopped celery, a spoonful of homemade mayonnaise, a squeeze of lemon juice, chopped chives, and Fauchon fleur de sel and Malabar pepper. Generously garnish the rolls with this creamy and flavorful mixture. For a touch of freshness and crunch, you can add a few lettuce or arugula leaves. Serve immediately with crispy fries or a green salad for a delicious and elegant summer meal.

Fresh Crab Rillettes, Avocado, and Cream Cheese Verrine
To make this verrine, start by mashing the ripe avocado with a drizzle of lemon juice to prevent it from browning. Then, lightly whisk the cream cheese with a little pepper and fresh herbs such as chives or dill. In verrines, alternate a layer of avocado, a layer of FAUCHON crab rillettes, and then a layer of cream cheese. Finish with a squeeze of lemon zest or a few herbs for decoration.
This verrine combines the creamy sweetness of FAUCHON crab rillettes with the freshness of ripe avocado and the lightness of cream cheese. A delicious and balanced combination, perfect for a summer aperitif or a refined starter. The blend of marine, creamy, and slightly tangy flavors offers a delicate and fresh experience on the palate, ideal for awakening the taste buds while remaining light.

FAUCHON crab rillettes aren't just for eating as a spread. They can also be used as a culinary ingredient in their own right. Their rich, creamy texture and delicate flavor make them an excellent base for many recipes: as a filling for ravioli or puff pastries, in an omelet, to stuff vegetables, or even to revisit a seafood gratin. They add a refined marine touch to your dishes, while making preparation easier thanks to their ready-to-use format.

With curry cream

Crab rillettes lend themselves to many delicious combinations, particularly with ingredients that bring out their finesse and marine character. They pair particularly well with a mild curry cream, which adds warmth and roundness while subtly enhancing the delicate crab meat.

With shrimps

Their tender, slightly sweet flesh perfectly complements the richness of the rillettes, reinforcing the recipe's marine flavor. You can add them whole, in chunks, or even on small skewers for a gourmet, festive touch. Paired with crunchy vegetables like fennel, cucumber, or celeriac, shrimp add texture and flavor, creating a balanced and refined taste experience.

With celeriac

Its firm and slightly crunchy texture, once finely grated or cut into thin strips, offers a nice contrast with the melting texture of the rillettes. Its delicately earthy and slightly sweet taste highlights the natural sweetness of the crab while adding a touch of freshness. In a light remoulade or simply marinated with a squeeze of lemon, celeriac pairs wonderfully with cold dishes like crab rillettes, whether in a glass, in a salad, or on toast.

To beautifully present crab rillettes, keep it simple and fresh. Arrange them in small portions on supports like toast, blinis, or crudités. Add crunchy and colorful elements, such as finely chopped cucumber, fennel, or celeriac, as well as some fresh herbs for the finishing touch. A squeeze of lemon or a touch of tangy cream (such as a curry cream) can enhance the dish. Present the dish elegantly, playing with textures and color contrasts.

The secret ingredient of FAUCHON crab rillettes is the artisanal precision applied to each step of the recipe, notably the delicate browning of the shallots and the controlled reduction of the preparation, which reveals all the richness of the marine flavors and guarantees a perfect balance between the cream, the pepper and the subtle taste of the crab.
