Portions:
4Ingredients
Rösti
- 1 Mozard potato
- ½ apple McIntosh
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- A small sprig of fresh oregano
- 1 egg
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) flour
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) butter
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil
- 2 Périgord duck breasts
- 60 ml (4 tablespoons) La Carminée vinegar
Quebec apple fennel
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 70 g (2 ½ oz) diced fennel
- ¼ diced Cortland apple
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) fresh thyme, chopped
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) butter
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Mashed potatoes and parsnips
- 2 Mozard potatoes
- 225 g (1/2 lb) parsnips
- 500 ml (2 cups) water
- 750 ml (3 cups) milk
- 125 ml (½ cup) applesauce
- 45 ml (3 tablespoons) butter
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Cut potato and McIntosh apple into julienne strips. Add seasonings, egg and flour. Mix together and shape into small patties. Let stand a few moments. Brown in butter and oil. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
- Gently carve the fat from the duck breasts at an angle, without reaching the flesh. In a frying pan, brown duck breast fat side down and turn over. Place on a baking sheet, fat side down, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a frying pan, reduce 60 ml of La Carminée vinegar and add the duck breasts to glaze.
- To prepare the apple fennel, sauté the ingredients in the butter and oil. Season to taste. The fennel remains crunchy and the apple is softened.
- To prepare the purée, boil the potatoes and parsnips in the water and milk. Mashed potato and add applesauce and butter. Season to taste.
- Garnish with julienned snow peas, lightly sautéed in butter.
