CHEF'S NOTES
An original recipe from Bunteen of L’Apsara Restaurant in Quebec City, presented by his friend Mario Martel.
The Apsara dressing is a creation of Chef Mouy Youk Thau.
The combination of hot and cold, paired with the flavour of the mint salad, gives the whole dish a wonderfully exotic taste.
The duck legs can be made into confit in advance and kept for several days in the refrigerator.
As a garnish, I’ve added some quartered ground cherries (physalis) and incorporated some orange zest into the sauce.
