Confit De Canard-oil-sealed Duck Leg
1.
Pickled. Wash the duck legs and wipe off all the water on the surface and the remaining water in the meat gaps, apply a lot of salt to all the duck legs, and evenly sprinkle the bay leaves on the duck legs, distribute a small amount of cloves and thyme, and evenly sprinkle with black pepper. Stack them in a larger baking tray, tightly seal with plastic wrap, flatten the bottom heavy objects (I pressed a cast iron pan), and put them in the refrigerator for 18-24h (at least 18h).
2.
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees, melt the frozen duck fat on the lowest heat in the pot, and add thyme.
3.
Wipe the marinated duck leg dry (dry it completely), remove the seasoning on the surface of the duck leg, and put it in the duck fat, so that the duck fat will completely submerge the duck leg.
4.
Put it in the oven at 150C and bake for 1.5h, then reduce to 140C and bake for 2h.
5.
After the time is up, confirm that the meat can be easily separated from the bone and can be taken out of the oven. After cooling, put it in the refrigerator with the pot. It can be stored in 4C refrigeration for 3 days (if it is taken out from the oven without opening the lid, it can be stored in refrigeration for 5 days. ), when you need to eat, remove the duck legs and scrape off the grease. Pure duck oil can be stored frozen. Remember that as long as the oil is on top, the soup at the bottom of the pot is not needed. It is easy to make conift again.
6.
Use a little cooked duck to fry the mushrooms and season with salt and black pepper. Because the oil contains a mixture of bay leaves, thyme and cloves, simple fried mushrooms will also be very colorful.
7.
Preheat the pan over medium heat, fry the duck legs thoroughly, and fry the skin until crispy.
8.
Make a simple match and serve! This dish is very convenient to be prepared a few days before the guests are served. You only need to fry it to enjoy it. At the same time, it is completely stress-free to make a soup. It is a pleasant meal!
