Our Pantry - Recipes Using Classic (Rendered) Duck Fat
Brining will reward you with an incredibly, moist, tender, flavorful turkey that will bring smiles to the faces of your friends and family and make second helpings a necessity. The process is simple, really--you just soak the turkey in brine overnight, roast it the next day, and let the feast begin!
We hold with the French of Alsace: they prepare their famed sweet and sour braised cabbage with duck or goose fat. Give it a try. It's the perfect vegetable partner for any holiday bird, and you can make it ahead and reheat it.
This is our version of Choucroute Garnie, a classic French dish of sauerkraut ("choucroute" is French for sauerkraut) slowly braised with duck fat, onions, and spices in white wine and chicken stock. Smoked pork chops and sausages are nestled into the sauerkraut to cook. The sauerkraut's flavor mellows and absorbs the flavors of the spices, cooking liquid, and pork, and its texture turns meltingly tender. We've tossed in some apples for a little extra sweetness. For a German twist on this dish, try substituting an amber beer for the white wine. No matter how you make it, though, be sure to pass a pot of good mustard at the table.
For an extraordinary pie or tart crust we use our Graisse de Canard Gold, along with pure unsalted butter. The result a is rich, crisp pastry just right for any savory tart or pie--and maybe some sweet ones, too. We've heard tales of a baker in San Francisco who made some incredibly delicious and quite popular pecan pies with--you guessed it--a duck fat pastry crust.
Graisse de Canard Gold adds a special touch - a delicate flavor - to these festive potato balls. You can make them ahead and keep them warm in a slow oven.
This classic, rich, slow-simmered dish combines a hearty bean stew with a savory pork and sausage stew, all topped with a crust of bread crumbs drizzled with our Graisse de Canard Gold. Cassoulet is quintessential French country cuisine, a labor of love, so set aside an afternoon to make it and serve it to friends and family warm and fragrant from your oven.
Simple roasted potatoes? Yes and no. They are simple to make, yes, but they're coated in our succulent Graisse de Canard Gold, which adds a heavenly aroma and deep, rich flavor to this classic dish that is anything but ordinary.
Serving smoked, grilled or deep-fried turkey this year? No slowly roasting bird with vegetables strewn about in the pan to help make the perfect gravy? No problem! Try our super easy method and you'll never worry about gravy again. You can even make it days ahead of time. The secret: our savory turkey stock and vegetables cooked to caramel perfection in our Graisse de Canard.
We get raves every time we serve these crunchy, lightly-battered leaves. They're incomparable!
Have you ever bought a splendid loaf of bread only to have it go stale? Have you wanted a special garnish for your soup or salad? These croutons will do just that! The flavor is sensational and, from a heart-healthy standpoint, duck fat is similar to olive oil.
