Duck Confit
Method
Preparation of Duck Confit
- 1
Prepare the Duck
Rub the duck quarters with salt, crushed garlic, thyme, and black peppercorns. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
- 2
Cook the Duck
Preheat the oven to 225°F (107°C). Rinse the duck quarters under cold water to remove excess salt, pat dry. In a large oven-safe pot, melt the duck fat over low heat. Submerge duck quarters in the fat and ensure they are completely covered. Cook in the oven for 4-6 hours until the meat is tender.
- 3
Crisp the Skin
Remove duck from the fat and let cool slightly. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and place duck skin-side down. Cook until skin is crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
