Instructions
For the duck mixture:Using a knife, finely shred and chop the meat and skin of the duck confit. In a medium bowl, stir together the shredded confit, sherry vinegar and Dijon mustard and set aside.In a sauté pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, sage, thyme, garlic powder, paprika and mustard powder and sauté until the onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let cool. When the mixture is just cool enough to handle, add the confit mixture and mix with your fingers.
Let cool for another 20 minutes before forming the nuggets.For the dipping sauce:In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the prune juice, prunes and vinegar and bring to a simmer. Simmer until reduced to about 2 tablespoons of liquid, about 7 minutes.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool. Once cool, stir in the Dijon mustard. If the sauce seems too thick, add water to thin. Set aside.For the nuggets:Lightly beat the eggs in a shallow dish.
Place the flour and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes next to the eggs. Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the duck mixture and use your hands to form it into a nugget shape (we know you know what nuggets look like, don’t pretend you don’t!). Dip the nuggets into the flour first, then the egg and finally into the bread crumbs. Set the nuggets aside on a platter.
Pour oil to a depth of ½ inch in a large skillet and heat over high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully add the nuggets to the oil. Working in batches of about 8 nuggets, fry for 90 seconds, flip to the other side, and continue to fry for 90 seconds more.
Transfer the nuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Add a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt and serve with the dipping sauce.Try out these duck recipes on Food Republic:Pineapple Duck Curry Recipe
