Confit de canard

Confit de canard is a duck preparation associated with southwestern France, including the Landes. The meat is salted, then cooked slowly in duck fat until tender. The method is also associated with preserving the cooked meat in fat. Legs and other duck portions can be prepared this way.[1]

Before serving, the cooked duck is reheated and its skin browned in a pan. Potatoes cooked in duck fat with garlic and parsley are one accompaniment. White beans, mashed potatoes, sautéed ceps, roasted root vegetables or green salad can also be served alongside.[1]
