Crispy Duck Confit with Roasted Root Vegetables
Pan-seared duck legs with a shatteringly crispy skin served over a medley of tender, caramelized roasted root vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 whole Duck legs
0.5 cup Carrots
0.5 cup Parsnips
1 tsp Fresh thyme
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the carrots and parsnips into half-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
Toss the root vegetables with the minced garlic, fresh thyme, sea salt, and black pepper, using a small amount of the fat from the duck legs if they are pre-confit.
Spread the vegetables on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
While the vegetables roast, place the duck legs skin-side down in a cold cast-iron skillet.
Turn the heat to medium-low and slowly render the fat for 10-12 minutes until the skin is deeply golden and very crispy.
Flip the duck legs and transfer the skillet to the oven for the last 5 minutes of the vegetable roasting time to heat through.
Drizzle the roasted vegetables with balsamic vinegar and serve alongside the crispy duck legs.
