Directions

Duck Confit Turnover

  • 1

    In a medium-sized sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of duck fat. Add garlic, ginger and onions; sauté one minute.

  • 2

    Add shiitake mushrooms and cook until wilted.

  • 3

    Add hoisin sauce, chili paste and lime juice and mix well to incorporate.

  • 4

    Add the shredded duck confit meat and heat through.

  • 5

    Transfer to a stainless steel bowl and chill.

  • 6

    While the filling chills, trim the crust off the white bread. Using a rolling pin, roll the bread out as thin as possible, approximately 1/8 inch.

  • 7

    Take a 4-inch round cutter and cut 8 discs.

  • 8

    Set up a breading station with flour, egg, and then combined bread crumbs.

  • 9

    Place enough duck leg mixture on one side of the disc so that it can be folded over.

  • 10

    Egg wash around the edges, fold over and crimp with a fork to seal.

  • 11

    Bread the turnover with standard breading procedure: flour, egg then breading. Pat the breading at the end.

  • 12

    Continue until you have 8 turnovers, two per serving. Hold for service chilled.

  • 13

    When ready to fry, slowly heat the 2 cups of duck fat in a small household deep fryer.

  • 14

    Deep fry to 350 degrees F.

Spicy Green Papaya Slaw

  • 1

    In a stainless steel bowl, place the Thai chiles, garlic, lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, chili paste and mix well.

  • 2

    Add the green papaya, cilantro and tomatoes; toss well in the dressing.

  • 3

    Mix in the chopped peanuts, and hold for service chilled.

Orange Blossom Vinegar Syrup

  • 1

    In a small pot, bring orange juice to a simmer and reduce to syrup consistency, 10-12 minutes.

  • 2

    Remove from the heat and add the vinegar. Stir well to combine. Hold warm for service.

Plating

  • 1

    Fry the turnover in the duck fat until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towel.

  • 2

    Place 3/4 cup of the Spicy Green Papaya Slaw off-center on the service plate. Place 2 turnovers on the plate, stacking one across the other diagonally.

  • 3

    Pool one tablespoon of Orange Blossom Vinegar Syrup near the slaw, and top the slaw with crumbled duck bacon. Serve.
