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
