Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Culver Farms duck leg confit This product is available at Wild Fork or use a similar product.
  • 4 white sweet potatoes
  • 2 large carrots
  • 2 cups sliced or shaved Brussel sprouts
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Roast the Filling Ingredients

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. On a baking sheet or large baking dish, toss the Brussel sprouts and carrots in olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper. Spread out across the dish to ensure even baking. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tender. Depending on thickness of your carrots, you may need to leave them in a few minutes long. Just transfer the Brussel sprouts to a separate dish.

Prepare the Duck Fat Mashed Potatoes

  • Place your diced sweet potatoes into a saucepan and cover with 1 inch of water and season with salt. Bring to a boil. Boil about 6 or 7 minutes until tender. Drain and mash roughly with a fork or potato masher. Set aside.

Prepare the Duck Confit

  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Submerge the duck confit packet into the boiling water for 8 minutes. Remove carefully and discard water. Snip a small corner off of the bag and drain the duck fat into a glass measuring cup.
  • Change the oven setting to High Broil. Place the duck legs on a baking sheet (use the same one the carrots were on ideally) and broil for 5-6 minutes (use the normal middle oven rack). Remove from oven and pull the duck meat and skin from the bones with a fork.
  • While your duck skin is crisping, add some of the duck fat to your mashed sweet potatoes and finish mashing to your desired consistency. Taste and season with salt if needed.

Assemble Your Pie

  • Pour about a tablespoon of the duck fat into a round casserole dish. Add all of the duck meat including the skin. Layer with the carrots and Brussel sprouts, then finish with the potatoes. Bake at 350℉ for 20-30 minutes and serve.

Notes

This dish requires finding a preprepared duck leg confit. You'll need about 2 cups of cooked meat. I used Culver Farms which is available at Wild Fork and can be purchased online in most states. 
Feel free to get creative with the layers of toppings. It's your pie!
