Oops
Too late for the sandwich contest, so per suggestions I've moved it here.
NB: Please use photo #2 for my entry.
I just joined and so have only recently started looking through the different parts of the site - if I missed the cut-off it's cool, but here's my entry anyway.
This was from Pentecost Sunday, where every year at the airfield down the road they have a 'meeting aerien' AKA airshow.
Tickets are expensive - at least they are when you have a family of five - and so we always just go picnic in the fields behind the airfield where there are hiking and quad paths. We set up a tent for the kids and chowed down on this shooter's sandwich that I made.
Ingredients:
- 3.7 pound boule de pain au levain (sourdough country loaf, if you will)
- 4 confit duck legs, 1 magret de canard (duck breast from ducks raised for foie gras)
- 1 cucumber, sliced, salted and then rinsed and dried
- 2 cups Do Chua (quick pickled julienned daikon and carrot, although I couldn't find daikon so I used radishes from the garden)
- a bottle of Hoisin sauce
Method:
- Render fat from duck legs and let the skin crisp up (low flame on stovetop)
- Crosshatch score the magret skin cutting halfway down into the fat
- Starting with a cold cast iron pan, put magret skin-side down and cook on low, fat will render & skin will crisp - once skin is crispy enough (don't forget to spoon off the rendered fat every now and then) bump the heat up a bit, flip and cook to desired internal.
- Shred duck leg meat, skin, and magret meat & skin
- cut the top off the boule, rip out most of the innards (save them for torn breadcrumbs later), put half the cucumbers in a single layer on the bottom, then take half the Do Chua and layer it, then half the bottle of hoisin, then duck, then repeat with remaining cucumber, do chua, and finally spread the remaining hoisin on the top of the boule (the part you cut off)
- wrap tightly in butcher paper, tie up, and apply a heavy weight to the top. I used two cases of beer stacked on top of a half sheet pan, to more evenly distribute the weight.
- Let it set for ~3 hours to overnight
- Slice and serve!
Photos or it didn't happen of course. First two are of the sammie, third is kids and wife in a field of barley, fourth is a Douglas DC3 and two Beech Be.18.
