  • About

This salad, similar to a Niçoise but with meat instead of fish, is a great way of giving a humble dish a touch of sophistication. More importantly, these are some of my favourite ingredients all on one plate, and that says one thing to me: lunch.

Ingredients

  • 6 duck legs
  • 250 ml duck fat
  • 200 g green beans

Method

Preparation

Place the duck legs in a shallow pan and cover with the duck fat. Cook uncovered at a slow, gentle simmer for 2 hours, until the meat is soft and beginning to come away from the bones.

Plunge the beans into a pan of boiling salted water and cook for 3 minutes. Lift the beans out with a slotted spoon, refresh under cold running water and place in a bowl.
