The 15th recipe I attempted in 2013 -- maybe not. I prepared it 5 weeks in on 20th December. Was supposed to be our Christmas or New Year's Eve dinner. But then everyone fell sick in turns and duck confit isn't exactly the healthier meal choice for patient I guess?
The duck confit recipe is "Confit de Canard" from "Ballymaloe Cookery Course" by Darina Allen. To those who doesn't know her yet, Darina Allen is said to be the Julia Child in Ireland. Her Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland is one of the top culinary institute in Europe. You may wonder if she's related to Rachel Allen, the Irish chef who has published a few popular cookbooks and had her own cooking series on BBC. Yes. Indeed they are related. Rachel Allen is Darina Allen's daughter-in-law and herself was a graduate from Ballymaloe Cookery School as well. I followed the recipe pretty closely except I preserved 6 instead of 4 duck legs.
