Method

Duck Confit Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

    Rub the duck legs with salt, crushed garlic, and thyme. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Duck

    Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Rinse the duck legs to remove excess salt and pat dry. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, cover the duck legs with duck fat and cook in the oven for about 2-3 hours until tender.

Berry Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Berry Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, honey, and lemon juice. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Remove the duck legs from the fat and let them drain on paper towels. Serve the duck on a bed of red leaf lettuce, drizzle with berry sauce, and sprinkle with dried lavender.
