arugula arugula
rosemary rosemary

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the duck confit legs, skin side up, on a rack set over a tray to catch the fat and bake for 18–22 minutes to make the skin crispy.
  2. Meanwhile, cut the pears into thick slices and sauté them over medium heat in a small pan with a knob of duck fat or a little butter; add the rosemary and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden.
  3. Remove the confit from the oven and let rest for 3 minutes. Lightly drain excess fat if desired.
  4. Arrange beds of arugula on each plate, place a confit leg on top, and harmoniously arrange the roasted pear slices around it.
  5. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy skin / melting meat and the lightly caramelized pears.

Variants
  • Replace the pear with green apple slices for less sweetness.

Tips
  • Drain excess fat if you want to lower the calories.
