DUCK QUARTER CONFIT
This is easy and it was quite tasty. Nothing fancy, but a nice way to have a simple duck meal. The duck first cooks in it's own fat, then is baked to crisp up the outside. I didn't make a sauce I just served it with mashed "caulitatoes" with cheese.

Steps:
- Rub the duck with salt (you don't have to use all of it), and let sit in the fridge for an hour. After an hour, brush as much of the salt off the duck.
- Pour the wine, into a dutch oven. Add the thyme and garlic, and then the duck, skin side down.
- Heat the wine to a boil, cover and reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook at a simmer for 2 hours.
- Remove from the liquid (and fat that has rendered), and put on a baking tray. Bake at 425 F for 30 minutes, turning half way though.
- (You could skim the fat off the wine and make a sauce from the wine if you wanted).

DUCK CONFIT, THE RIGHT WAY
Duck confit takes a while to prepare properly but is well worth the effort. This melt-in-your mouth duck treat will become a favorite. I buy whole ducks and then remove legs/wings whole and breasts from the bone. Always keep the skin on duck! You can easily double this recipe if you're having a dinner party. I learned this method from Chef Uriah of the Columbian Cafe of Astoria, Oregon. The breasts become pan roasted Muscovy duck (see my recipe) and the legs/wings become confit. Never roast a Muscovy duck whole: the breast comes out dry, musky, and bitter tasting.

Steps:
- Combine shallot, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme in a small bowl. Rub all over duck legs, thighs, and wings.
- Arrange duck parts skin side-up in a dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the seasoning is well absorbed, 24 to 48 hours.
- Rinse off the seasoning and pat the duck dry. Arrange duck in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Let duck stand until it reaches room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
- Melt duck fat in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles begin to form, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour duck fat over the room-temperature duck.
- Bake duck in the preheated oven until tender and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 135 degrees F (57 degrees C). Pour off the duck fat.
- Brush a grill pan with some of the used duck fat and heat over medium-high heat until smoking. Add baked duck; cook in batches until skin is crispy, about 90 seconds per side.

DUCK CONFIT
This recipe comes from Gordon Hamersley's "Bistro Cooking at Home". I use this in my recipe for Cassoulet, but you could also use it to top salads or add to stews. Try to find Pekin duck legs if you can, they are smaller (not to be confused with Peking duck. Pekin ducks are also known as Long Island ducks). If you cannot find Pekin duck legs you can use Moulard duck legs, but they are larger. I like to store the legs 2 to a container, so I don't have to break the seal on a whole batch just to get one or two legs. But if you like you can store the whole batch in one big container. The storage containers must be either straight from the dishwasher or rinsed with boiling water - you will be storing the confit in them for at least a month, so you want to make sure there are no spores hiding out on them. And don't kid yourself, even the cleanest kitchen has spores lurking about. You cannot escape them. So, if you are using plastic containers, straight from the dishwasher. If you are using glass, either straight from the dishwasher or clean and rinsed with boiling water.

Steps:
- Put the duck legs into a large container (a large, heavy-duty ziplock bag works well) and add the salt, pickling spices, garlic, onion, and thyme. Mix together thoroughly, making sure each leg is coated with the salt. Cover with plastic wrap (if not using a bag) and refrigerate for at least 18 hours and up to 2 days.
- In a very large Dutch oven or other large heavy-based pot, melt most of the fat slowly over low heat. Remove the duck legs from the refrigerator. Reserve the garlic from the marinade. Rinse each duck leg well under cold running water to rinse the salt off, and pat dry well, using paper towels.
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Slip the legs and the garlic into the pot of warm fat. The fat should cover the duck completely. If it does not, add more fat. Cook the legs over medium heat until the temperature of the fat reaches 190 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy/ frying thermometer, then cover the pot and carefully move it into the oven. Bake at 200 degrees until the legs are fork-tender, about 3 hours.
- Remove the pot from the oven and allow the duck legs to cool in the fat for about half an hour. Have ready one or more clean containers to hold the duck legs and the fat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the legs into the containers. Remove the garlic from the pot, but do not add it to the duck legs - set it aside (see note at end of recipe).
- Allow the duck fat to cool, but do not let it solidify. Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the fat over the duck legs, leaving behind any debris or juices from the duck legs, which will have sunk to the bottom of the pot. Make sure that the legs are completely covered, and tap the containers lightly on the counter to help remove any air bubbles. Reserve any remaining clear strained duck fat and store in the refrigerator.
- Refrigerate the confit until the fat hardens fully. When the fat is hard, add another 1/2 inch layer of melted fat (which you saved from earlier, in the fridge. If you did not have enough to save, you could use fresh pork lard or peanut oil) to ensure that the legs are completely sealed in fat. Refrigerate the confit to allow the legs to "mellow" and develop flavor for at least a few days and up to 1 month before using.
- To use the confit, let the fat in the container soften at room temperature. Or set the container in a pan of warm water. Take out as many pieces as you plan to use. Cover the remaining pieces with more fat or peanut oil (the confit becomes more perishable once the seal is broken, so use the rest within a week or so). Scrape away the fat clinging to the confit and use as you like or as directed in a recipe. If you are using the confit on its own in a salad, heat it under a broiler until the skin is crispy.
- Note on garlic: press the garlic through a mesh strainer. You now have an excellent garlic purée to add to sauces, stews, or to spread on bread.

CHEF ANNE'S CHEATER'S DUCK CONFIT & BITTER GREENS
When I worked at Savoy in SoHo, we had salt-roasted duck on the menu but we served only the breasts, so there was always an excess of duck legs hanging around. We'd eat the legs at our family meal, but after a while everyone was sick of them. Then one night, I was in a pinch for an hors d'oeuvres idea, and that's when I came up with my cheater's confit. As they say, desperation can be inspiration! My confit tastes just as good and authentic as a traditional confit, but it's SOOOOO much faster. As far as I'm concerned, the time you save with my recipe is outstanding (this is one streamlined operation!) and so is the flavor.

Steps:
- Season the duck legs generously with salt. Coat a roasting pan lightly with olive oil and lay the duck legs skin side down in a single layer. Put the pan on the stove and bring to medium heat. Cook the legs until the fat slowly begins to melt. This will take 20 to 30 minutes and you don't want to rush it-this part of the process is worth the effort! When a decent amount of fat has been rendered, about 1/2 inch, raise the heat and brown the legs on both sides. Once browned, remove them from the pan and reserve. Yum! Doesn't this smell good?
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add the onions to the fat in the pan, season generously with salt, and stir to coat; cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste to make sure they're well seasoned and add salt if needed.
- Return the duck legs to the pan and snuggle them in with all the onions. Add the wine, thyme bundle, and bay leaves and cover the pan with foil.
- Put the pan in the oven and cook for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so to be sure the onions aren't burning. When the duck is done it should be incredibly flavorful, tender, and almost falling off the bone.
- In a large bowl, combine the greens with some red wine vinegar, a bit of salt, a nice drizzle of the warm duck fat from the pan, and some of the caramelized onions. To serve, place a large mound of the dressed dandelion greens on a plate, lay a duck leg on the greens, and top with a few more onions.
- Confit is a classic way of preserving food, most commonly used with duck. It's when you cook something in its own fat and then store it in the fat. Confit is SOOOOO good! It's luscious and rustic; think of it as fancy comfort food.
- To make traditional confit you cure the meat overnight with salt and shallots, cook it to render the fat, and then store it in its own fat.
- To make my "cheater's" confit, you render the duck fat low and slow-don't rush it! You want to melt as much fat off of the duck legs as possible. Then you caramelize lots of onions in the duck fat, toss in a bunch of white wine, thyme, and bay leaves, and braise the duck with the onions and the fat. It's hugely flavorful and a lot faster than classic confit.
- If you have any lovely duck fat left over, youil want to use it to make my killer crispy crunchy duck fat potatoes (page 219).
