The story behind

Salmis de Canard is one of those historic preparations that demonstrate the sophistication of traditional cuisine. It is not merely a stew; it is a technique where roasted duck is incorporated into a sauce enriched with meat juices and red wine. It is a dish I prepare when I want to honor tradition and offer an experience of deep, comforting flavor; every spoonful of the sauce, with all its nuances, is a true gastronomic gem.

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a saucepan, reduce the red wine with the stock and herbs until you get a concentrated base.
  2. 2
    Add the carrots and pearl onions to the sauce and cook until tender.
  3. 3
    Incorporate the previously roasted duck legs into the sauce to warm through and absorb the flavors.
  4. 4
    Let the sauce reduce until it reaches a shiny, silky consistency.
  5. 5
    Serve hot, garnished with a few sprigs of fresh thyme.
