Mushroom and Duck Confit Salad
by:
This is the kind of ultimate wilted salad that you can make luxurious by using wild mushrooms. I recommend assembling your own greens, instead of relying on the nowuhiquitous mesclun mixes that often taste like a collection of weeds. I have suggested some greens here, but use whatever looks good.

preparation
1. Wash and dry the salad greens and put them in a salad bowl large enough to leave plenty of room for tossing. Wash and dry the mushrooms. Cut the end off the bottom of each mushroom stem if dried out or dirty. if the mushrooms are large, cut them into smaller pieces. Set aside.
2. Pull off and discard the skin from the confit. Pull away the meat from the bones in shreds and reserve. In a large skillet, heat the duck fat over high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for about 7 minutes, or until fragrant and brown. Season with salt and pepper, scatter the confit over the mushrooms, and pour in the vinegar and oil. Stir or toss over high heat for about 30 seconds and then pour the contents of the skillet over the salad greens. Toss immediately and serve.
