Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the Sardine Rillettes with Espelette Pepper with the eggs until you get a smooth mixture.
  3. Add the sifted flour and mix well.
  4. Stir in the baking powder, milk and olive oil, then mix again.
  5. Add the grated Comté and black olives, then season with pepper (salt is generally not needed, as the rillettes are already seasoned).
  6. Pour the batter into a buttered and floured loaf tin, then bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Let cool slightly before unmolding, then slice and share at the aperitif!

Our Groix & Nature Tips

For a more indulgent variation, swap the Comté for a bit of crumbled fresh goat cheese: the pairing with the pepper is even more flavorful. Craving a different pepper? Our Organic Sardine Rillettes with Groix Chilli Pepper offer an equally bold kick, with the taste of pepper grown right on the island.

This cake is just as good served in small bites at the aperitif as it is in a generous slice with a green salad, for a light and flavorful starter.
