Note

Of course this is not a classic recipe. The meat should be completely filled with fat and simmer at a lower temperature. This method was a way of preserving food when there were no refrigerators. Now we don't need so much fat. It's enough.
This is delicious. Delicate and spicy. Recommend)

Marina, can be filtered and refrigerated. It will not go into baking, because it took the smells, but fry potatoes or cutlets, completely.

: empathy: do not be upset, come I give it to you, though it is not for an amateur (for me, cranberries are more versatile, and lingonberries with a peculiar bitterness are shorter for an amateur ... here I am talking about wild berries and both (from forests and swamps collected), store, just bought a cranberry the size of a cherry, for the sake of curiosity, cotton wool .. the most delicious cranberry ..
mirtatvik
Angela, be sure to try lingonberry on occasion! A very peculiar berry.

Such a pitch, such apples and
I have dreamed of trying the original of this recipe for a long time, but the green Toad sits on my shoulders and does not allow to use up so much duck fat at a time))
By the way, duck can only be cooked using duck fat. Here you can pick up fats for another bird, even vegetable oil, and we fry the duck only on the "native"))
In Europe, duck fat is sold in supermarkets, like we have ghee, so they constantly tease these legs ..., eh
It's good that we have YOU
Thank you!!!

I made duck confit several times and I also had little fat, but I followed the recommendation of the famous French chef Emeril Lagasse (he generally cooks confit entirely in olive oil) and replaced half of the fat with vegetable oil.
The melted fat goes very well in chicken liver pate

leostrog, I know all this. But where can I get so much olive oil? It will cost like an airplane wing

Jeanne, so you have this fat, well, just like shoe polish!

I have a very rare duck. Therefore, I only bake or riyet. Pork is used in the riyet and it seems to me that they are very good friends
As for me, here the head is fat and so. I can’t imagine if you drown it all.
leostrog
so the principle of any confit is at a low temp., simmer the product in fat for a long time and so that fat everything is covered.
This is a very old method and used in the past for preserving meat. Thus, any meat (pork, goose) was prepared and stored under a layer of fat for a long time. many more months. in cold basements.

I made tuna confit - it turns out very tasty too.
It is worth trying - to peel vegetable oil (the same sunflower) with juniper berries. bay leaf, allspice. so that it loses its specific smell and makes confit in it.
ang-kay
leostrog, I heard you. But everyone chooses what suits him. It suits me both according to taste and budget.
Svetlana777
ang-kay, so she seduced me with a duck, she doesn’t give me rest, she just jammed me on a juniper (even I confused it with cloudberries, well, they start with M ... I also think where they got it from, enta marsh berry) I read it, looked , and I have never heard of this. darkaaa ... rummaged in the vastness of the Internet, went to the pharmacy bought and gnawed one, the sensations sho in the forest all the young cones gnawed ... oh now I would have bitten into a duck leg
ang-kay
Svetik, well laugh Juniper not to put much. That's for sure. Good for smoking and damp. Here he gives only a tiny touch. So delicious. Try it.

Try it.
I tried it, went to chew meat later, well, I can say that meat and juniper are friends. I will definitely try with duck, And cloudberry, a kind of berry, raspberry in appearance, only yellow-orange, it tastes strange, I ate jam, as if I stuffed some medicine into my mouth
ang-kay
Yes, in the north you have your own charm)
SinichkaV
To say that it is delicious is to say nothing! This is delicious!!!! The meat is so tender and aromatic that the desire to leave a half the next day disappeared ... it was all crumbled right there. And cooking isn't really messy. Marinated and free. Put it in the oven and free. You don't need to follow anything. And the result is like in a restaurant!
