Perigord Salad (Salad
Périgourdine)
Perigord Salad, (Salade Périgourdine) is a traditional french
recipe from the region of Perigord, within the Department of the
Dordogne in the south west of France. It is a regional favourite in
this area, which is famous for it's consumption of duck. This one is
my husbands favourite.
It's most special ingredient is gesier de
canard, often known as 'Salad de
Gesier'
using cooked, preserved duck giblets. If you have never
tasted them before you are really missing something. They are tender
and full of flavour. A typical example of a confit preservation. You
must try the recipe and judge for yourself.
This traditional french salad can also be
made with lardons & slices of smoked duck breast. We have eaten
this salad may times, and it varies depending on the Chef.
