I put "confit" in quotes because it's a shortcut method, due to the fact that large quantities of duck fat are almost impossible to obtain here. After salting and spicing the duck legs for 24 hours, I cook them in a roasting pan, covered with foil, for 3 hours at 300 degrees.Bob Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349830722788278723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-53596570657258736112015-12-31T13:25:19.681+01:002015-12-31T13:25:19.681+01:00Yes, a very interesting post.
