Tips from the chef
Use fresh duck eggs for a richer flavor and vibrant color in the filling.
Ensure chicken livers are well trimmed to remove any bitterness.
Crush pork rinds finely to help the crust hold together better.
Let the tart rest a few minutes after baking to firm up the filling for cleaner slices.
Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper for added aroma and bite.
