duck confit


vegetable confit


burned sugar syrup for dark rye bread


  • patience pays off in slow cooking of confit. duck legs were marinated for 2 days, and cooked in fat and broth at 180 degree for 8 hours ( overnight), pan-seared before serving. vegetables are simmered in the stock of vegetable+duck over low heat for one hour.
  • dark rye bread uses burned sugar syrup ( again made with a slow process) and dark chocolate.
