Duck Leg Confit x 2 Pieces

We can't make it much easier than this. The act of confit (or cooking submerged in fat) originally started as a way of preserving foods. Duck Leg Confit has now become one of France's most decadent and delicious dishes. 

Our beautiful duck legs have first been trimmed, and marinated in salt and herbs. Then the legs are submerged in fat and cooked low and slow for 12 hours until the meat is falling off the bone. Once the legs are soft and tender we cool the meat and prepare them to be dipped in duck fat. From there will chill them and pack them and this is how they arrive at your door. 

All thats left is for you to do is place them in a roasting dish and cook at 200 degrees celsius for approx. 30 minutes or until the skin in golden brown and crispy. 

This dish is best served alongside braised red cabbage or with a crisp green salad. Duck Leg Confit is decadent and rich - it responds beautifully to a little acidity.
