Duck Parmentier with Potato, Jerusalem Artichoke, and Caramelized Apple

Perfect for cozy autumn and winter evenings, this dish is simple to make and rich in flavor!

• Start by melting the duck legs gently in a pan to remove excess fat.
• Keep some of that duck fat in the pan to sauté the onions and apples later.
• Remove the legs from heat and cool.
• With clean fingers, de-bone the duck legs and shred meat carefully.

Making the potato and Jerusalem artichoke mash:

• Peel and clean all potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes thoroughly.
• Boil them for 20 min.
• They’re ready when a sharp knife goes through without resistance.
• Drain water.
• Mash using a potato masher.
• Add the milk and stir it in.
• Season with salt and pepper.

Cooking caramelized onions and apples:

• Peel the apples and onions.
• Cut the apples into large chunks.
• Slice the onion thinly.
• Sauté both apple and onions together in the duck fat you set aside, until golden and slightly caramelized.

In a baking dish:

• First, mix shredded meat, caramelized apples, and onions to form the meaty underlayer.
• Spread the potato and Jerusalem artichoke mash evenly on top.
• Bake for 40 min.

It’s wise to let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair your Duck Parmentier with a crisp lettuce or mesclun salad. Enjoy your meal!
