Looking for a flavorful twist on dinner tonight? Duck Confit Ingredients: - 4 duck legs - 1 cup duck fat (or enough to cover the duck legs) - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves - 1 tablespoon kosher salt - 1 teaspoon black pepper - 2 bay leaves Preparation Steps: 1. In a bowl, mix minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. 2. Rub the spice mixture all over the duck legs; place in a dish and cover. 3. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to marinate. 4. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). 5. Rinse the duck legs under cold water to remove excess salt and spices. 6. In a large oven-safe pot, melt the duck fat over low heat. 7. Add the duck legs and bay leaves, ensuring they are fully submerged in fat. 8. Cook in the oven for 4 to 6 hours, until the duck is tender and falls off the bone. 9. For crispy skin, remove the legs from the fat and sear in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side before serving.
