Smoked chicken confit with red pear on Kalera Baby Romaine Salad
Smoked chicken confit with red pear on Kalera Baby Romaine Salad This dish realizes two different goals. First: I wanted to try the Kalera Baby Romaine lettuce. I recently found it in a local grocery store. I became aware of Kalera a few months ago when a peer of mine mentioned them to me. This occurred, in conjunction, with Kalera opening a farm in my general area. For those who do not know, kalera is a hydroponic, vertical farm. They control the environment and all aspects of the plants life. Quite an intriguing operation. Second: I wanted to serve the smoked chicken thigh confit in a new method. In the past, I have served the confit on a bed of white beans with potatoes fried in the confit fat. This dish works perfectly. I just wanted something different. As I thought about options, a duck confit salad I had a couple of years ago came to mind. The idea of the confit salad, triggered another memory of serving a duck confit hors d’oeuvres toppe
