Substitutions: If you don't have access to duck gizzards, chicken gizzards or thinly sliced turkey giblets can be used as an easy alternative.

1. Prepare: Wash and pat dry 1 pound of Duck Gizzards, then set them aside.

2. Slice: Cut 3 large Carrots into thin strips, slice 2 medium Leeks lengthwise into 1-inch pieces, and peel, seed, and cube 2 medium Comice Pears into 1/4-inch pieces.

3. Boil: Bring 1 quart of Water to a boil in a large pot and add 1 teaspoon of Salt.

4. Blanch: Place the finely sliced carrots into the boiling water for about 1 minute.

5. Marinate: Scoop the carrots out into a small mixing bowl using a slotted spoon and, while still warm, stir in 1/4 cup of Red Wine Vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dried Oregano, and 1 teaspoon of Poppy seeds. Let them cool on the counter in this liquid.

6. Sauté: Heat 2 tablespoons of Virgin Olive Oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Cook the sliced leeks for 5 to 6 minutes.

7. Simmer: Add 1 teaspoon of Sugar and 1/4 cup of Sherry to the pan and simmer until all the liquid has evaporated, about 4 to 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

8. Whisk: Combine 1 tablespoon of Dijon Mustard, 4 tablespoons of Sherry Vinegar, and 1/4 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a separate mixing bowl until smooth.

9. Mix: Stir the cubed pears directly into the mustard dressing mixture.

10. Heat: Warm the remaining 3 tablespoons of Virgin Olive Oil in a separate pan until hot and shimmering.

11. Cook: Place the duck gizzards into the hot pan and sauté, stirring constantly until cooked completely through, about 7 to 8 minutes.

12. Assemble: Dress 1/2 pound of washed and dry Mizuna Greens with the pear-mustard mixture and place a portion in the center of 4 plates. Sprinkle the brined carrots around the greens and arrange neat piles of the cooked leeks on each plate.

13. Serve: Divide the hot duck gizzards evenly over the salads and serve immediately.

14. Shelf Life: Enjoy this salad fresh when assembled; the components should not be stored together after dressing.

15. Savor: Take your time with the prep. Be proud of yourself!
