Total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  1. 2 commercial duck thighs confit
  2. 90 mL (6 tbsp.) Baies D’Or cranberry sauce
  3. 10-15 mL (2-3 tsp.) Balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Heat the duck thighs according to package instructions and set aside to cool.
  2. Remove bones, remove fat and tendons, and then chop finely.
  3. This should yield about 200 g of meat. Set aside.
  4. Using an electric mixer or masher, reduce the cranberry sauce to a thick purée. Add the vinegar and spices.
  5. Mix the reserved duck meat with the green onion and cranberry sauce.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed.
