birds of a feather
what’s old is new again- round twoWhat’s better than a great dinner party? Being left with the stars for an encore performance in a whole new role. One of my top craves in Palm Desert is Three Corner Bistro’s duck confit pizza. While theirs is made with brie and arugula, I decided I’d toss my lone confitted duck leg with the leftover roasted grape tomatoes, sautéed spinach, and some mozzarella. Luckily I had some of my homemade homemade pizza dough in the freezer. Making this rehash dinner come together in a snap.
The night before pull the pizza dough out of the freezer and let it thaw overnight in the frig. That afternoon let it come to room temp.
Take out the roasted cherry tomatoes with basil and sautéed spinach and garlic.
Then the confit duck leg.
Shred the meat off the leg with a fork.
Stretch out the room temp pizza dough onto a lightly oiled pizza pan.
Drizzle it with olive oil and garlic.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Scatter on the reserved toppings.
Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned and bubbly. This is one you’ll be sure to fly home for time and time again.
