DUCK CONFIT FILLING
Duck confit is just one example of how leftover meat can be used to make savory fillings. Short ribs, osso bucco, or lamb shanks are other good options. Just make sure to chop the meat finely enough to be wrapped neatly within tender pasta (without tearing the dough). You can alter the flavorings to suit your palate or the type of meat, but the egg yolks are always required for binding. This filling is especially good with the spinach pasta (page 368), as shown for the agnolotti on page 370.

Steps:
- HEAT THE OIL in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are golden brown and softened (reduce heat if browning too quickly), 15 minutes. Deglaze the pan with sherry, stirring up browned bits from bottom of pan and cooking until completely evaporated. Fold duck into shallot mixture, then remove from heat and let cool completely. Mix in egg yolks to combine, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 4 hours. Proceed with ravioli recipe on page 373.
