Ingredients

1 cup duck skin and fat

Kosher salt

1 large head savoy cabbage, cut into 8 wedges

1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Cut the duck skin and fat into small pieces and put in a saucepan with 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the fat is melted and the skin is brown and crisp, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Scoop out the duck-skin cracklings, drain on paper towels and season with salt. Reserve the duck fat.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat 3 tablespoons duck fat (or olive oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the cabbage in batches, about 1 minute per side; transfer to a baking dish. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons duck fat (or olive oil), season with salt and toss. Roast until crisp on top, about 15 minutes, then turn the wedges and roast until the other side is crisp, about 8 more minutes. Sprinkle with the duck-skin cracklings and roast 2 more minutes. Drizzle with the vinegar.

I am a French Canadian, who married a Scandinavian. As a child learnt to keep bacon grease and use. Scandinavians, make this recipe using bacon grease as do I however I bump up the flavor: I brown the cabbage in bacon grease- toss with a chopped leek-toss into a casserole dish with a good sprinkle of chili flakes and maple syrup. Bake at 350 for 30- 40 minutes.. So easy cheap and what a flavor combo!
