5Duck Confit (Confit de Canard)

Confit de Canard is a luxurious French dish where duck legs are slowly cooked in their own fat until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy. This method, which originated as a way to preserve meat, gives the duck an incredibly rich flavor. It’s often served with potatoes cooked in duck fat and a side of fresh greens.

Best Paired With: A bold red wine, like a Madiran or a Merlot, to enhance the richness of the duck.
