Crispy Duck Confit with Roasted Root Vegetables
Slow-roasted duck legs seared to a golden crispness, served over a medley of tender, caramelized root vegetables finished with a bright balsamic drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 whole duck leg confit
0.5 cup carrots
0.5 cup parsnips
1 clove garlic
1 tsp fresh thyme
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and dice the carrots and parsnips into uniform 1-inch chunks, then finely mince the garlic.
Toss the root vegetables with the garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and a teaspoon of rendered fat from the duck packaging.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Place the duck legs skin-side down in a cold cast-iron skillet and turn the heat to medium.
Sear the duck for 8-10 minutes without moving it to allow the skin to become deeply golden and crispy.
Flip the duck legs and transfer the skillet to the oven for the final 5 minutes of the vegetable roasting time.
Plate the crispy duck over the roasted vegetables, garnish with fresh thyme leaves, and finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
