Favourite Meal

Tonight we had my eldest son's favourite meal -

Confit de canard with potatoes fried in duck fat


The confit de canard comes in a large tin which you have to take the top and bottom off with a tin opener.
Then I scrape off as much of the fat as I can and then the lump of 4 legs goes into the steamer to get rid of the rest of the fat.

After about 30 minutes of gentle steaming, I put the legs onto a rack in a very hot oven to crisp up.
The skin should be very crispy.

While this is in the oven, I boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes, then fry them in the melted duck fat.

Yummy!!

What is your favourite meal?
