Duck Confit

One of the simplest grand meals in the world is confit of duck or goose, cooked in its rendered fat and then preserved in it. It is also one of the easiest, because once you spend a day making the confit, it takes only ten minutes to heat it in the oven or broiler or on a grill. Since it will last for weeks in the refrigerator, it is the ultimate fast food. This is a recipe for one duck, but it is better to cook about four, once you have decided to do the work.
