Seeing Hank’s post on Wild Duck Consomme I decided to make some of my own ( post coming soon ) and as a result of butchering a whole duck I ended up with a couple of duck breasts that need eating. I had some Pomegranate Molasses and decided to use this as a base for [...]

With the left over duck pieces from my previous Duck with Pomegranate Juice Reduction dish I decided to make a confit of duck. I season the duck pieces with salt, thyme, coriander and garlic and left in the fridge for 24 hours to cure. This was then cooked at 100 C for 10 hours overnight [...]
