Make a delicious confit duck with minimal effort using clever time-saving tips.
Ingredients:
  • 1kg desiree potatoes, peeled, chopped into 2cm pieces
  • 4 confit duck legs (see note)
  • 4 eschalots, finely chopped
  • 200ml white wine
  • 250ml chicken stock
  • 23.40 gm Dijon mustard
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 20.00 ml fresh tarragon leaves (see note), finely chopped
  • 6 tomatoes, quartered, seeds removed
  • 400g baby green beans, blanched, refreshed
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until just tender. Drain thoroughly.
  • Trim excess fat from the duck and reserve it. Spread 2 tablespoons of duck fat in a baking dish and melt in the oven for 2 minutes. Coat potatoes in the melted fat and season them. Roast the potatoes for 10 minutes. Then, place the duck on a lined tray and roast it with the potatoes for an additional 20 minutes, making sure to turn the potatoes once, until both the duck and the potatoes are crisp and golden.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of reserved fat in a pan over medium heat. Sauté eschalot for 1 minute until just starting to soften. Pour in wine, increase heat to high, and reduce for 8-10 minutes until about 2 tablespoons remain. Add stock and simmer for another 6-8 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in mustard and herbs, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the tomatoes into strips and combine with beans. Drizzle half of the dressing over the mixture. Serve alongside the potatoes and duck, with the remaining dressing on the side.
