Ingredients for 4
  • 1 duck breast
  • 2 rabbit legs
  • 2 chicken supremes
  • 1 pear, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons Calvados
  • ½ liter cider
  • 1 tablespoon cream
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 bunch chives
  • 1 walnut-sized piece fresh butter
  • Salt and ground pepper, to taste
Preparation

Skin the duck breast and cut the meat into 1.5 cm cubes. Bone the rabbit legs and cut into similar cubes. Repeat with the chicken supremes.

Melt the butter in a skillet. Season the meat cubes and sear over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes until golden.

Peel, seed, and finely chop the tomato.

Remove the meat with a slotted spoon. Deglaze the pan with Calvados, reduce slightly, then add the cider.

Return the meats to the sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.

Stir in the diced pear, chopped tomato, cream, salt, and pepper. Finish with chopped chives.

Serve hot.
