What it is
A classic dish from Gascony, featuring duck leg cured and slow-cooked in its own fat until tender, then pan-fried until the skin is crispy. Traditionally served with potatoes, this version pairs it with keto-friendly vegetables.
Key ingredients
Duck leg, duck fat, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, green beans or spinach.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit the traditional pommes sarladaises (potatoes cooked in duck fat) or any other potato/starchy side. Request green vegetables like spinach or haricots verts sautéed in butter or duck fat.
Watch out for
Potatoes or starchy sides if not explicitly omitted, potential glazes on the duck.
