Ingredients:
# 1 pound tagliatelle |
# salt # freshly ground black pepper # lemon zest |
1 or 2 slow-roasted duck legs |
1 tablespoon parve marggarine |
1-2 tablespoons duck fat |
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice |
4 finely chopped garlic cloves |
Directions:
1. Slow Roast Duck
2. To slow roast raw duck legs, first pat them dry. Prick skin all over with needle to help render out fat. Salt all over generously. Place skin side up in a 300F oven in a casserole dish just small enough to fit them without overlapping. Cook for about 90 minutes or until the skin starts pulling away from the bones and getting crispy. Turn up the heat to 375F for 15 minutes until duck starts to get light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
3. Method
4. Pick all the meat off the duck legs and reserve the skin. Tear the meat and skin into smallish pieces.
5. Heat a large saut pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the butter and duck fat and the duck meat and skin. Turn the heat down to medium.
6. Put the pasta in the boiling water. Stir it from time to time.
7. Add the garlic to the saut pan and mix well. Watch the garlic: The moment it begins to brown turn off the heat.
8. Drain the pasta when it is al dente, or use tongs to take it from the boiling water right into the saut pan. Turn the heat back on to medium. Toss the pasta in the saut pan, making sure it is all coated well. Add more duck fat if needed. Add some black pepper and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and toss again. Taste and add the second tablespoon of lemon juice if you want.
9. Serve immediately with the lemon zest sprinkled on top.
