Confit de canard

Confit de canard is a delicious French duck dish, though some chefs use goose or pork instead. It is considered one of the best French dishes. The meat is prepared using ancient preservation techniques and a slow-cooking method (confit).

The duck meat is marinated for 36 hours in salt, garlic, and thyme before being slow-cooked in its own fat at low temperatures. This is a better option than frying. On the side, it's usually served with confit roasted potatoes and garlic. Today, this dish is popular throughout France, but the best variations can be found in the Gascony region.

Confit de Canard is a dish from the French region of Aquitaine. The south west of France is located on the Atlantic coast. Bordeaux is the capital, and Aquitaine is divided into five departments. Confits are essentially a preservation technique. This region's traditional dish is "preserved duck."
