HOW TO PREPARE THE DUCK RAGOUT

 

To prepare the duck ragout, start with the vegetable stock: keep it warm. Next, move on to chopping the vegetables. Remove the filaments from the celery with a vegetable peeler, or a smooth blade, 1 and then chop 2. Continue by cleaning and chopping carrots 3

 

and onion 4. Finally chop the duck meat with a knife into not-too-small cubes 5. Move to the stove. In a saucepan with a little oil, wilt the chopped vegetables for a couple of minutes 6.

 

Add the juniper berries crushed with the back of a knife 7 and add the duck meat and sear it a couple more minutes 8 stirring occasionally 9.

 

Add the bay leaf 10 and tomato paste and deglaze with the wine 12.

 

When the alcohol part has evaporated, wet with the hot vegetable stock 13. Season with salt and pepper, cover with a lid and cook over a gentle heat for about 70 minutes: remember to stir occasionally and add more broth as needed 14. Once the duck ragout is ready, all you have to do is consume it!”
