Recipes

Pappardelle with a Duck Liver & Pancetta Sauce

ARTICHOKE INGREDIENTS

  • 8-10 artichokes, cut julienne (prefer fresh)
  • 1.5 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. mustard seeds
  • 1.5 tsp. dill
  • 1 onion, sliced into rings
  • 1/2 tsp. chilli pepper flakes

SAUCE INGREDIENTS

  • 8 oz. pancetta cut into thin strips
  • 12 oz. duck liver - small diced
  • 2 shallots minced
  • 2 oz. butter
  • 2 tbs. cooking oil
  • 2 springs of sage
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock

PREPARATION

  1. For the pickled artichokes, using fresh would be best but canned will also work fine.
  2. Combine all the above ingredients and bring to a boil. Pour over artichokes and let rest in juice at least over night.
  3. Sweat shallots in butter and oil. Add pancetta and let cook 2-3 minutes. Add liver and cook an additional 4-5 minutes.
  4. Pour wine and let slightly evaporate. Add chicken stock, sage, salt and pepper. Cook for another 10 minutes.
  5. Cook pasta the standard way. Toss with sauce and serve on a plate individually. Top with pickled artichokes.
