Duck Confit with Green Peas and Ham

This is an excellent supper dish for spring and early summer when fresh tender peas still in their moist pods are available.

In years past I thought I could taste the difference between frozen and fresh peas. Nowadays, there are some wonderful frozen peas in the supermarkets and I suggest you use them when fresh peas are out of season. Serve this dish in a shallow earthenware pot for a rustic presentation.
