PULLED DUCK IN BRIOCHE BUNS WITH SPICY SLAW & DUCK FAT

INGREDIENTS:

1 pack of Silver Hill Duck Confit

Brioche Burger Buns x 2

20g Rocket

1 Red Onion, Sliced

1 Avocado, Sliced

Plum Sauce

Homemade Coleslaw

Duck Fat Fries

METHOD :

Heat the duck confit according to pack instructions. Remove the meat and crispy skin from the bones discarding any extra fat. Shred the meat with two forks and cut the skin into pieces. Toast the brioche buns and spread the buns with a little plum sauce. Add a handful of rocket followed by the duck. Top with a spoonful of coleslaw and avocado slices and serve with the duck fat fries on the side.

 

Gently fry the shallot with the duck fat in a small pot until softened then add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes stirring regularly until the fruit has broken down and become a thick sauce. When cold, remove the cinnamon stick and star anise, transfer to a screw topped jar and store in the fridge. This will keep for 2-3 weeks when refrigerated.

 

Coleslaw

Put the cabbage, carrot, onion and chilli in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and sugar and pour over the vegetables. Season well with salt and black pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for an hour to allow the cabbage to soften a little and the flavours to develop.

  • ¼ head of white cabbage, thinly sliced

  • 2 carrots, peeled and roughly grated

  • 2 scallions, trimmed and sliced

  • 1 small red chilli, finely chopped

Place fries in large bowl and toss with the duck fat and salt. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes, turn and continue baking until brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
