TOASTED BAGUETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/4-inch slices. You should have 20 to 25 slices. Place the slices in 1 layer on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake the toasts for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are crisp and browned. Serve at room temperature.

THANKSGIVING STUFFING SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• For the salad: Toss the baguette cubes with the oil on the prepared baking sheet and bake until nicely toasted and golden brown in spots,10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar and sugar in a small bowl to combine. Add the onion and toss until well coated. Set aside to pickle, tossing occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Toss the arugula, celery, carrot, leek, sage and thyme in a large bowl. Drain the onions, reserving 1/4 cup of the pickling liquid. Add the onions to the bowl, along with the croutons.
• For the dressing: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, reserved 1/4 cup pickling liquid, 2 teaspoons of the bouillon concentrate, 1 teaspoon black pepper and a good pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Whisk well. Taste for seasoning, adding up to 1 teaspoon more bouillon as needed. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is well coated. Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.

DUCK CONFIT HASH

Steps:

• Cook duck legs, skin sides down, in a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy nonstick skillet over moderate heat, turning over once, until skin is golden and some of fat is rendered, about 8 minutes total. Transfer duck to a cutting board, reserving fat in skillet. When duck legs are cool enough to handle, remove skin with any visible fat, then chop skin and fat into 1/2-inch pieces and return to skillet (reserve meat). Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally and pressing down on larger pieces, until fat is rendered and skin is deep golden and crisp all over, about 5 minutes. Remove skin with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Pour off all but 3 tablespoons fat from skillet, then add onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add carrots, potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, coarsely shred duck meat, discarding bones and any gristle.
• Stir duck into vegetables along with cream, Madeira, parsley, fried duck skin, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and stir until combined. Reduce heat to moderately low, then smooth top of mixture and cook, undisturbed, until bottom of hash is golden when lifted with a spatula, 4 to 8 minutes.
