Preparation method:

Brown the chopped celery, carrot and onion in a pan with a tbsp of oil. Wash and clean the duck thighs and add. Brown on all sides, add the white wine, cover and cook very slowly for 3-4 hours (add some meat stock, if the sauce reduces too much). When half cooked, crumble in the stock cube and add the marjoram leaves and olives. When almost cooked, drizzle over some Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and season with salt and pepper. Flake the meat away from the duck bones. Place in a bowl with the filtered cooking juices.

To serve:
Wash the various salad leaves well and use to form nests in the centre of a dish, using some round pastry cutters if necessary. Dress with vinaigrette (made using Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, olive oil and salt). Place 2-3 spoonfuls of duck meat and juice on each nest. Drizzle with a few drops of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.

Garnish:
Cut some cherry tomatoes in half and caramelize . . . >>>
