Copyright, 2000, Ming Tsai, All Rights Reserved

8 pound bag duck fat

Directions

Duck Confit: In a large bowl, mix everything together but
the duck and fat. In a tall pan, line the bottom with a layer of the mixture. Place duck legs on top, then
cover with another layer. Place in refrigerator overnight (24 hours). In a tall casserole or rondo, melt the
duck fat. Set oven at 300 degrees. Wipe off all the mixture and place in fat. Watch carefully, you never
want the fat to boil. Cook in the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, or until meat is falling off the bone. Pull
from fat and serve immediately or when stored overnight, pan sear at medium heat until brown and crispy on
both sides.
