Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Lacto Fermented Cabbage

    Chop the cabbage and mix it with water and sea salt. Let it ferment at room temperature for about 5-7 days.

  2. 2

    Duck Confit

    Slowly cook duck legs in duck fat with thyme and garlic for about 2-3 hours until tender.

  3. 3

    Pear Chutney

    In a pot, combine chopped pears, onion, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and ginger. Cook until thickened, about 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Duck Jus

    Roast duck bones with onion and carrots, then simmer with water for 2 hours to create a rich duck jus.

  5. 5

    Smoked Parsnip Puree

    Steam parsnips until tender, blend with heavy cream, smoked salt, and butter until smooth.

Cooking Duck Breast

  1. 6

    Sear Duck Breast

    Score the skin of the duck breast, season with salt and pepper, and sear skin-side down in olive oil over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Let rest before slicing.

  2. 7

    Sauté Kale

    In a pan, sauté kale with olive oil and lemon juice until bright green and tender.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, spread a layer of smoked parsnip puree, top with sliced duck breast, add a side of lacto fermented cabbage, golden raisins, and sautéed kale, and finish with duck confit, pear chutney, and a drizzle of duck jus.
