Ingredients
Duck Confit
- 4 pcs Duck legs preferably organic
- 2 cups Duck fat
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon Garlic crushed
Burger Assembly
- 4 medium Brioche buns lightly toasted
- 100 grams Gruyère cheese sliced
- 1 cup Arugula fresh
- 1 medium Red onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Duck Confit Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F). Season the duck legs with salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic. Place the legs in an ovenproof dish and submerge in duck fat. Cook in the oven for 2 hours until meat is tender.
Burger Assembly:
- Once the duck confit is ready, remove the legs from the fat, and shred the meat using two forks. For a crispy finish, sear the shredded duck in a hot pan with some duck fat until golden brown.
- Lightly toast brioche buns. Spread Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun, layer with arugula, a generous portion of duck confit, sliced Gruyère cheese, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding a spoonful of fig jam between the duck and cheese. If Gruyère is unavailable, Emmental cheese can be a suitable substitute.
