Method

Duck Confit Preparation

  1. 1

    Cure the Duck

    Rub the duck leg and thigh with salt and thyme. Place in a dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Duck

    After curing, rinse the duck under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat dry. In a large pot, submerge the duck in duck fat and add garlic cloves. Cook on low heat for about 2-3 hours until tender.

Crispy Potatoes Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut potatoes into small cubes. Boil in salted water for about 10 minutes until just tender. Drain and cool.

  2. 4

    Crisp the Potatoes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the boiled potatoes, salt, and pepper. Fry until crispy and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Slice the yellow onion. In a separate pan, sauté the onion until translucent. Add broccolini and cherry tomatoes, cooking until the broccolini is tender and tomatoes are blistered, about 5-7 minutes.

Demi Glace Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Demi Glace

    In a saucepan, combine blackberry port wine and duck stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce until thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in butter at the end for richness.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, arrange the crispy potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and the duck confit. Drizzle with blackberry port demi glace and serve hot.
