Duck Confit Ingredients

Method

Duck Confit Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Duck

    Preheat the oven to 225°F (110°C). Rinse the duck legs and pat them dry. Place them in a baking dish and cover with duck fat. Bake for 2-3 hours until tender.

  3. 3

    Make the Cherry Mostarda

    In a saucepan, combine pitted cherries, sugar, and white wine vinegar. Cook over medium heat until cherries are soft and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

  4. 4

    Serve the Duck

    Remove duck legs from the fat and let them rest. Serve with cherry mostarda, crumbled blue cheese, and baby watercress.
