Duck fat potato rosties, duck confit with parsley, fennel salad and a vierge sauce

Preparation time: 60 min

Preheat your Oven at 400 °F

• Plating

  On a flat plate, place the potatoes in the center. (use a ring mold for a nicer presentation)  Place the duck on top.

  Garnish with the fennel salad and top it all off with the vierge sauce.

  Enjoy!

• Vierge sauce

  Combine all of the ingredients with olive oil, taste for seasoning and add the lemon zest.

• Fennel salad

  With the help of a mandolin, slice the fennel as thinly as possible.  In a mixing bowl, combine the fennel with the lemon juice and season to taste.

  Add a drizzle of olive oil and set aside.

• Duck confit

  In a hot skillet with vegetable oil, cook down the mushrooms and once they have a nice color add the duck.  At the last moment before serving, add the parsley and garlic and season to taste.

• Rosties

  Season the grated potatoes with salt and pepper and add 15ml of melted butter.

  In a non stick skillet, heat the duck fat with a knob of butter.  Cover the bottom of the skillet with a thin layer of potatoes and cook until it reaches a nice golden color.

  Flip and make sure to get the same golden color on the other side.

  Set aside on a baking sheet to that you can reheat when ready to serve.

• Preparation

  Pull the duck confit.  Mince the garlic and parsley.  Slice the mushrooms.

  Place the potatoes (skin on) in a pot of salted cold water and cook until they are about 75% done.  Remove from water and peel them.  Grate the potatoes with a cheese grater and set aside in a mixing bowl.

  Cut the tomato in 2, remove the seeds and cut the flesh into small cubes.

  Lightly chop the capers.  Toast the pine nuts and once nice and toasted add them to the olive oil to infuse. Cut the olives into slices.
