General preparation
Remove the skin and fat layer from the duck magret, leaving only the meat. Cut the meat with a knife so as to obtain small cubes. Cut the bacon into small pieces. Chop the shallots and chives. Finely chop the gherkins and capers. Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano.

For the tartar preparation
In a non-stick skillet, fry the bacon on medium heat until you obtain a golden brown color and crispy bacon. Drain the bacon pieces and place them on a sheet of absorbent paper. In a bowl, mix the diced duck with chives, shallots, gherkins, capers, mustard, Parmesan cheese, crispy bacon and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the crostini preparation
Slice the baguette at an angle to get your crostinis. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes or until crisp.

For the fingerling potatoes
In a big pot, cover the potatoes with cold water, bring it to boil and let it cook for 20 minutes, once cooled cut the potatoes. In a pan, warm the duck fat and sear the potatoes until they get crispy, then season with salt and pepper.
