Duck Confit with Roasted Root Vegetables
Slow-cooked duck legs seared to achieve a shatteringly crispy skin, served over a bed of caramelized root vegetables and tender wilted greens.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 whole duck leg confit
1 cup carrots
0.5 cup parsnips
1 tsp avocado oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme
2 cup baby spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and chop the carrots and parsnips into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Toss the root vegetables with avocado oil, sea salt, and black pepper on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables for 22 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are tender and have developed golden caramelized edges.
Place the duck legs skin-side down in a cold cast-iron skillet and turn the heat to medium-low.
Cook the duck for 10-12 minutes without moving them, allowing the fat to render out and the skin to become deeply crispy.
Flip the duck legs and cook for an additional 3 minutes to warm through, then remove from the pan.
Add the baby spinach to the remaining duck fat in the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until just wilted, then serve immediately with the duck and vegetables garnished with fresh thyme.
