Click here Crispy Duck Confit With Mixed Bitter Greens Salad If you go to the trouble of making traditional duck confit, then we owe it to you to offer some ideas for how best to serve it. For our traditional duck confit recipe, we like to keep the French classic bistro vibes going by serving it as part of a light meal, crisping up the duck legs and pairing them with a simply dressed salad of bitter greens. When you can't hop on a flight to Paris, this weeknight dinner might just be the next best thing. (Note that this recipe also works great with sous vide duck confit.) The kitchen essential A Chef's Press Use one or two Chef's Press weights to press down on the duck legs while they're browning. This keeps the skin in even contact with the surface of the skillet.

How to make traditional duck confit
| Your Recipe of the Day No images? Click here Traditional Duck Confit For this traditional confit (the analog alternative to our more modern and streamlined sous vide duck confit recipe, we start by curing duck legs for 24 hours with salt, black pepper, and an allium cure made with shallots, onion, garlic, parsley, and thyme. This cure seasons the meat and gives it a touch of vegetal sweetness, and it's then rinsed off (which allows for the duck fat to be reused later for subsequent batches of confit). The duck legs are submerged in the fat and cooked gently in a low oven until completely tender. The kitchen essential Duck Fat The amount of duck fat needed for this recipe is dependent on the size of your cooking vessel. You need enough rendered duck fat to fully cover the legs and keep them submerged throughout cooking. You can render duck fat yourself from breaking down whole ducks or purchase containers of rendered duck fat at well-stocked supermarkets or online. More dang for your duck! |
