*Cooking with duck fat is a tasty way to level up your cuisine. With a silky mouth feel, capacity for deep browning and delicate savoury flavour, duck fat turns everything to culinary gold – from potatoes to poultry to popcorn. It gives a light umami quality to vegetables and mushrooms, and is the perfect fat to partner with potatoes! It’s a chef favourite due to the high smoke point of duck fat; it can be cooked at high temperatures without smoking or altering its flavour. Duck fat also stores in the freezer for quite a long time too! For the chef on your gift list, a jar of Graisse de Canard is the ultimate gift.
Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 tbsp rendered duck fat
  • ½ c. packed curly parsley leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves
Instructions
  1. Peel potatoes, then cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Rinse in 2 or 3 changes of cold water until water runs clear. Drain and pat very dry.
  2. Heat fat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted. Cook potatoes with ¾ teaspoon salt, turning gently, until coated with fat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, turning occasionally, until golden in spots and potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, finely chop parsley and garlic together. Gently stir parsley mixture into cooked potatoes & serve immediately.

Ingredients
  • 4 pounds beef short ribs

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 large onion, sliced into rings
  • 2 leeks (white portion only), sliced
  • 1 c. red wine

Instructions
  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F
  2. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, and set aside. Heat an oven-proof Dutch oven, or wide, shallow pot with a lid over medium-high heat. Stir in the olive oil and butter until the butter has melted. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the leek, and continue cooking until the onion and leek are lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Brown the short ribs (or pot roast) in the hot Dutch oven until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Once browned, sprinkle the reserved onions over the ribs, pour in the wine, beef stock, tomatoes, and Preservation & co. Bloody Mary Mix. Nestle the carrot chunks among the ribs. Bring to a simmer, then cover, and place into the preheated oven.
  4. Braise in the oven for 2 hours, then add the mushroom caps, recover, and continue cooking 1 hour more.
  5. Serve with mashed potatoes.
