Duck Confit is a traditional French dish that consists of very tender and moist duck meat that is slowly cooked in duck fat. It is one of the finest dishes in French cuisine and is absolutely delicious. The meat is first cured in salt and spices for up to two days and then covered with melted duck fat and slowly cooked in the oven on very low heat until very tender. After cooking the duck confit is preserved, covered in duck fat and refrigerated until ready to serve.
