About the recipe

Here's a great dish as the Fall approaches and maybe even if a rainy night happens? I made this dish with duck confit, which we occasionally feature at Etto market, but could also easily be made with roasted chicken, pork. beef or Mighty Cap Mushroom. Add the roasted protein to the top.
