Crispy Duck Confit with Roasted Root Vegetables
Slow-roasted duck leg seared until the skin is shatteringly crisp, served over a bed of earthy root vegetables and peppery arugula.
INGREDIENTS
1 large duck leg confit
0.5 cup parsnips
0.5 cup carrots
0.25 cup cooked green lentils
1 tsp fresh thyme
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 cup arugula
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Place the duck leg, skin-side down, in a cold oven-proof skillet and turn the heat to medium.
Render the fat for 5 to 7 minutes until the skin is golden and very crisp.
Remove the duck from the skillet and set it aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat in the pan.
Add the diced parsnips and carrots to the skillet, tossing them in the duck fat with sea salt and black pepper.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the vegetables for 18 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Stir the cooked lentils and fresh thyme into the vegetable mixture.
Place the duck leg back into the skillet on top of the vegetables and roast for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Arrange a bed of fresh arugula on a plate and top with the roasted vegetable and lentil mixture.
Place the crispy duck leg on top and finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar over the entire dish.
