Confit Duck Leg
Method
Confit Duck Leg Preparation
Prepare the Duck
Season the duck legs with salt and black pepper. Place them in a large baking dish.
Add Aromatics
Add garlic cloves and thyme sprigs to the baking dish with the duck legs.
Cover with Duck Fat
Pour melted duck fat over the legs until they are completely submerged.
Slow Cook
Cover the dish with foil and cook in a preheated oven at 225°F (107°C) for 4-6 hours, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.
Cool and Store
Allow the duck to cool in the fat. This can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
