Duck Confit

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

    Rub the duck legs with salt, black peppercorns, and thyme. Place crushed garlic on top and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Duck

    Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Place the duck legs in a baking dish and cover with duck fat. Cook in the oven for about 2-3 hours until tender.

  3. 3

    Crisp the Duck

    Remove the duck legs from the fat and pat dry. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the duck legs skin-side down until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
