DUCK CONFIT RAVIOLIS

Steps:

• Place the flour on a clean work surface. Make a well in the center of the flour, break the eggs into the well. Add salt and olive oil in the center of the well and mix gently with a fork.
• Slowly begin incorporating flour in the flour pulling side of the well. With your hands or a food processor continue working the dough until it comes together. If the dough is too dry, add a little water; if too wet or sticky, add a little more flour.
• Keep working the dough and continue kneading until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Gather the kneaded dough and form a ball. Cover the dough ball with plastic or aluminum foil and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Lightly flour the work surface, place the ball of dough in the floured area. With the palm of your hand, flatten into a circle about six inches. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough starting from the center and sideways, slightly rotate the position of the rolling pin with each move, always starting at the center and rolling sideways. (Keep the dough covered until ready to use.)
• Continue stretching until the dough is uniform 1/8 inch or so thick. Sprinkle lightly stretched dough and let it dry for about 15 minutes before cutting.
• In a skillet, heat the butter and oil, garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms in a skillet over medium heat, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook until brown, about 8 minutes, add the peas cook for 1 more minute. Reserve.
• In a large bowl mix together the duck confit, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and egg until it's all mixed together.
• Place about 1 teaspoon of filling on each circle individual pasta. Moisten the edges and place another circle on top. Press firmly on the edges to seal properly. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Put salted water to boil. Add ravioli. Reduce heat to simmer; Cook for 1-2 minutes or until ravioli float to the surface and are tender to the touch. Drain. Put the ravioli in the sauce and heat and cover with sauce. Serve and enjoy!

DUCK CONFIT

Steps:

• Lay the leg portions on a platter, skin side down. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt and the black pepper. Place the garlic cloves, bay leaves, and sprigs of thyme on each of 2 leg portions. Lay the remaining 2 leg portions, flesh to flesh, on top. Put the reserved fat from the ducks in the bottom of a glass or plastic container. Top with the sandwiched leg portions. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Remove the duck from the refrigerator. Remove the garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and duck fat and reserve. Rinse the duck with cool water, rubbing off some of the salt and pepper. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Put the reserved garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and duck fat in the bottom of an enameled cast iron pot. Sprinkle evenly with the peppercorns and table salt. Lay the duck on top, skin side down. Add the olive oil. Cover and bake for 12 to 14 hours, or until the meat pulls away from the bone.
• Remove the duck from the fat. Strain the fat and reserve. To store the duck confit, place the duck leg portions in a container, cover with the reserved cooking fat, and store in the refrigerator. Alternately, pick the meat from the bones and place it in a stoneware container. Cover the meat with a thin layer of some of the strained fat. The duck confit can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• The excess oil can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and used like butter for cooking. The tinge of duck taste in the oil is wonderful.
