PRESERVED DUCK (CONFIT DE CANARD)
Provided by Patricia Wells
Categories dinner, main course
Time 2h
Yield 1 preserved duck
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- two legs with thighs attached, two breast halves, two wings and neck.
- Trim away any peripheral fat from the duck and from the inside of the cavity, reserving it for rendering. In a large, shallow bowl layer the duck pieces, sprinkling them with the salt and pepper. Add the garlic, cloves, bay leaves and thyme. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24 hours, turning the pieces occasionally.
- Rinse the pieces to remove the salt, drain and wipe dry with a paper towel. In a very large pot heat the goose fat or duck fat just enough to melt it and add the duck pieces, garlic and herbs. (Preferably, the pan should be large enough to hold the pieces in one layer. Use a copper pot if you have one; it will allow the duck to cook slowly and evenly.)
- Bring the fat almost to the boil, then quickly lower the heat to a gentle simmer and simmer slowly and evenly, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours. Do not allow the fat to boil or the meat will be fried, not gently cooked. After 1 1/2 hours pierce the duck meat with a metal skewer. If the juice flows clear, the duck is cooked. If it flows red continue cooking until the juice flows clear. The meat should be soft and not offer the least bit of resistance.
- Remove the duck pieces and arrange them in a large, round earthenware terrine, a large, wide-mouth canning jar or several jars. (If you will be using the confit right away or the next day, just cover and refrigerate). To store the confit for more than a day strain the fat through a very fine sieve over the duck pieces. There should be enough fat to fully cover them. If not, add additional goose fat or duck fat to cover. Cover the terrine with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate (or store in a very cool cellar) for several weeks before using. The confit should keep for several months as long as it is well-covered with fat.
- When ready to serve, allow the confit to rest at room temperature for an hour, then lift as many pieces as you will need out of the fat.
- To serve at room temperature, brown as described above, then drain and allow to cool before serving. Cold duck is excellent with a green salad with a garlicky dressing.
- Broil the pieces or cook them in a very hot oven in a little of their own fat or pan-fry them in a little of their own fat until the skin is crisp and deep brown and the meat is heated through. Drain and serve.
PRESERVED DUCK
Steps:
- Cut up ducks: remove legs and separate into thigh and leg pieces; remove entire breast and cut in two lengthwise (only these pieces are preserved).
- Mix salt with remaining ingredients, rub pieces thoroughly with it, pack into bowl and let stand for 24 hours in refrigerator.
- Put remaining parts of the ducks, including all fat, in pot and cover with water. Chop carrot, onion, rib celery and sprig parsley and add to pot along with bay leaf and a little thyme, salt and pepper. Simmer, covered, for 3 hours. Strain and refrigerate stock overnight. Remove cake of fat and reserve. Freeze stock for other uses.
- Wipe salted duck pieces to remove excess salt and put into deep pot. Melt all duck fat you have on hand and, when hot, pour over duck pieces in pot, adding as much hot melted lard as needed to cover pieces. Simmer pieces very gently for 1 1/4 to 2 hours, or until no liquid comes out when they are pierced with knitting needle.
- When duck is cool, remove skin and bones if desired, pack pieces into wide-mouthed jars (fill the jars only 3/4 full) and pour on melted fat to cover.
- Refrigerate until set and then top jars up with more melted fat to insure a good seal. Duck preserved in this way will keep up to 6 months in refrigerator. To use, simply warm the jar in a very low oven till fat melts, fork out pieces needed and refrigerate again (making sure of good depth of fat for seal).
