Stuffed cabbage with duck

Step 1. Stuffed Cabbage

1. Remove 8 nice cabbage leaves, rinse them and blanch them in salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes. Strain the leaves and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, brown the chopped shallot and diced carrot in a little duck fat. Then add half the cabbage cut into thin strips.
3. Leave the cabbage to soften for about fifteen minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Shred the meat by removing the skin and bone.
5. Put the meat in a frying pan and mix, leaving it to cook for a few more minutes, then correct the seasoning.
6. Remove the large stalks on the leaves, put a small lump of filling in the center of the leaf and fold it over on itself.
7. Put the stuffed cabbage leaves into an oven dish, salt lightly and add a little duck fat on each leaf. Put into the oven at 180°C for 25-30 minutes.
8. Although the recipe deliberately comprises more vegetables than meat, you can of course increase the amount of meat if you wish.

Step 2. Blueberry Sauce

1. Heat a saucepan containing olive oil, add the shallots and leave to soften for 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and blueberries, and bring to a slight boil.
2. Lower the heat to medium and leave to reduce by 2/3 for 15 minutes and mix everything.
3. Gradually blend the butter cut into small cubes into the sauce and gently whisk until a smooth, homogeneous sauce is obtained. Add salt and pepper to correct the seasoning.
