Come preparare

Combine the ground pork, milk, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaf in a heavy saucepan. Stir thoroughly so the spices and onion are evenly distributed before heating.

Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture just to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently and breaking the pork into fine crumbles. Do not let the milk boil rapidly.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 60 to 70 minutes, stirring every 8 to 10 minutes. Keep the mixture at a quiet bubble until the pork is tender, the liquid is nearly absorbed, and the pork reaches 74°C.

Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust the salt or pepper while the mixture is still warm, then press it into a shallow serving dish or six small ramekins to create an even surface.

Cool uncovered for 20 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm and spreadable.

Bring the cretons out 10 minutes before serving. Serve chilled or cool with toasted bread, crackers, and pickled vegetables.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Slow simmering tenderizes the ground pork while reducing the milk into a cohesive, spreadable base. Onion, garlic, and restrained warm spices provide the savory-sweet character associated with traditional cretons without overpowering the meat.

Conservazione e riscaldamento

Come conservarla

Transfer the cooled cretons to a covered container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Keep chilled until serving.

Come riscaldarla

Cretons are best served cold or cool and should not be reheated. If needed for spreading, let a portion stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, then return leftovers to the refrigerator.
