A rillette is made from meat, (usually pork or game), that is slowly cooked in fat or a flavored liquid, and then pounded into a paste using some or all of the cooking liquid. The resulting paste is then placed in a jar or ramekin and capped with fat, which allows the meat to cure and the flavors to meld.
Simple vegetable stock recipe.
There are two kinds of veal stock; brown and white. The only differentiating factor is whether or not the bones are roasted. The decision to roast the bones is dependent on the final application of the veal stock. If you are making a traditional Veal Veloute, a white veal stock is needed.

This kaffir lime aioli was originally developed as a dressing for our Thai inspired french fries served at Stella. I love kaffir lime because it just permeates with tropical fruit and citrus. This aioli will work great for just about anything you'd use a citrus aioli for, just taken to the next level.
