Risotto with my very own duck confit! I simply browned the confit leg skin side down to render out some fat. Used that to saute shallots. Added arborio rice. Sauteed for a minute. Added, gradually, morel mushroom stock, water and white wine until tender but chewy. Grated in some Gran Padano cheese and stirred in the cut up duck confit. Add a little salad and voila!
I meant to include the link to making your own confit. I didn't take pictures this time. I should have because it turned out really well and much prettier than last time. But here is the link for making confit.
You make it sound so easy. It looks quite tasty. I will have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteKate> it is so easy to make risotto and it feels like a special meal.
ReplyDeleteWow! This looks delicious and my hubby would love it for sure! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteIf only I had some duck confit.
ReplyDeleteNo duck confit here either, but it really does look lovely! I'm wishing I had some!
ReplyDeleteI have now added the link to how to make your own duck confit. It is easy really. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThis just sounds incredible; beautiful photo too! Comfort food to me will always be any risotto! Is it chilling off a bit up there in the Calgary area? My one and only time to Banff was in mid-August and we enjoyed the escape from our Southern heat. Thanks for the lovely post! Don't forget next Friday! Roz
ReplyDeleteI really need to try to make this... I am in a such a duck mood after reading the pie crust winner of the Brooklyn pie contest had a duck fat crust with thyme... great recipe, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteDeana> duck fat with thyme...mmm...sounds like heaven. I have 2 litres of duck fat in the fridge. Thanks for the idea. I must try it.
ReplyDeleteI am very tempted to go search for a duck and make this from scratch! I will rely on your method and voilà!
