D'Artagnan
Redeem: http://www.dartagnan.com/
It’s the stuff of legendary French cuisine—foie gras, pâté, caviar, truffles, confit—all brought to you by D’Artagnan, the company founded in 1985 by Ariane Daguin, who grew up in Gascony, the French region famous for foie gras. You won’t find her products everywhere, but you'd be hard-pressed to discover a top restaurant not serving the company’s natural, sustainable, humanely-produced meats and poultry. Hard-to-come-by items like Tarbais beans will help you turn out the perfect cassoulet. And if you love duck, consider D’Artagnan your one-stop shop, with a dazzling array of whole birds (Moulard, Muscovy, and Pekin), as well as breasts, confit, sausage, pâté, terrine, and foie gras. You’ll even find duck fat (for frying frites the Belgian way) and demi-glace (to add sparkle to your duck soup).
Duck into the kitchen
A whole duck, which will serve about four people, is easy to cook. Just roast it for 30 minutes per pound in a preheated 350° F oven. You’ll know it’s ready when the legs move easily, and the breasts register 160° F on a meat thermometer. Save the fat for cooking fries. And check out these other recipes from D’Artagnan.
