Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb duck confit
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup shallot
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tsp dry white wine
  • 1 medium kosher salt
  • 1 lb cracked black pepper
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the duck confit dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the duck confit, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
Keep cooking
