Ingredients

For the Duck Confit

For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

For the Salad

Preparation

For the Duck Confit

1. Prepare the Duck

In a large bowl, combine the duck legs, salt, black peppercorns, thyme, and crushed garlic cloves. Rub the mixture evenly over the duck legs and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.

2. Cook the Duck

Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Place the duck legs in a Dutch oven and cover them with duck fat. Cook in the oven for 4-6 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Once cooked, allow the duck to cool in the fat.

3. Crisp the Duck

To serve, remove the duck legs from the fat and crisp them skin-side down in a hot skillet for about 5-7 minutes.

For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

4. Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

5. Cook the Potatoes

Add the garlic cloves to the pot and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the water.

6. Mash the Potatoes

Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add heavy cream, unsalted butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as needed.

For the Salad

7. Prepare the Vegetables

Rinse and dry the mixed greens. Slice the cucumber and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

8. Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

9. Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.
