Additional Information
- Duck Confit
Packages of duck confit are available in fine food stores. Two legs (10 oz/280 g pkg) provide 6 oz (175 g) meat, enough for a batch of latkes. Heat in small pan in 400°F (200°C) oven, turning once, until hot, about 10 minutes. Remove skin and tear meat from bone into bite-size pieces. Top each latke with 1 tbsp (15 mL) Chunky Maple Pear Sauce, small pieces of duck confit and parsley leaf.
