This comforting recipe comes from the kitchen of Chef Mohand Souiki, of the renowned restaurant La Maison Dorée in Saint-Étienne, France. As winter casts its chill, Chef Mohand Souiki offers a reinterpretation of the classic pot-au-feu, infusing it with the warmth and elegance of Lyon's culinary tradition. —damianotrulli
Ingredients
-
4
confit duck thighs
-
50 grams
fresh truffles
-
4
carrots
-
4
celery stalks
-
4
turnips
-
4
potatoes
-
2
leeks
-
1 liter
chicken broth
-
100 grams
foie gras terrine
-
1
bouquet garni (bay leaf, thyme)
-
50 milliliters
cognac
Directions
-
Sauté the confit duck thighs with 2 onions quartered in duck fat or foie gras trimmings, then add the bouquet garni.
-
Deglaze with 50 ml cognac, then add 1 liter chicken broth to cover the thighs. Let simmer over low heat for about 35 to 40 minutes, adding more broth if necessary to maintain a sufficient quantity.
-
While the duck thighs cook, peel and cut the carrots, turnips, potatoes, and celery stalks into pieces. Wash and cut the leeks into large pieces.
-
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook all the vegetables in the same pot in the following order: celery, carrots, turnips, leeks, and potatoes at the end.
-
Once cooked, check the doneness with the tip of a knife; the vegetables should remain slightly crunchy to finish cooking slowly in the duck broth.
-
Place a confit duck thigh in each plate, arrange the vegetables around, then pour the broth over.
-
Add a few pieces of cooked foie gras and some slices of fresh truffle on top.
-
Finish with a pinch of fleur de sel.
