Duck Confit with Roasted Root Vegetables
Slow-cooked duck legs seared until the skin is shatteringly crispy, served over a bed of tender roasted carrots and parsnips.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 whole duck leg confit
0.5 cup carrots
0.5 cup parsnips
1 tsp duck fat
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then dice them into uniform 1-inch chunks.
In a bowl, toss the diced vegetables with the duck fat, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme until well coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until tender and golden brown.
While the vegetables roast, place the duck legs skin-side down in a cold cast-iron skillet.
Turn the heat to medium and sear the duck for 8 to 10 minutes without moving them, allowing the fat to render and the skin to become deeply browned and crispy.
Flip the duck legs and heat for an additional 2 minutes to warm the meat through.
Arrange the roasted root vegetables on a plate and top with the crispy duck legs to serve.
