  • 300 grams boneless skinless roast chicken or turkey
  • 150 grams duck fat

  • 1 shallot
  • 2 teaspoons fresh tarragon or other herb of your choice (basil, oregano...)

Instructions
 

  • Peel and thinly slice the shallot.
  • Transfer the shallot to a Dutch oven with one teaspoon of duck fat and make it sweat on low heat.
  • In the meantime, shred the chicken (or turkey).
  • Then add the shredded chicken (or turkey) to the Dutch oven along with all the other ingredients.
