The very nice people at ConfitDeFrance.com have generously agreed to sponsor a competition for our readers to win a selection of imported French delicacies.
You could win a Confit De France package containing:
- 1 tin of Duck Confit, containing four duck legs
- 1 tin of Cassoulet with Confit Duck
- 1 tin of Goose Rillettes
This is a great example of the affordable luxuries that we were talking about here before. The duck confit is extremely rich and delicious, four legs will comfortably feed four people, and a tin only costs €12.43 in their online shop. The tins will keep for a long time in a cupboard, and the fat that the legs are packed in can be saved to use for roasting potatoes.
Laurent of Confit De France sent us four legs to try, which I roasted with baby new potatoes, and served with red cabbage with wine, redcurrant jelly and apple (from M&S for about €3). It was an extremely flavourful and satsifying meal, a real treat. A quick Google search for duck leftovers turned up some incredibly luxe options: I did a risotto with roasted butternut squash and shredded duck. I also ended up with a large mayonnaise jar full of strained duck fat to use for future chips and spuds.
To win the box of goodies from ConfitDeFrance, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling us if you’ve ever bought confit duck and if you know how to prepare it. There’s no right or wrong answers, we just want to hear your opinions.
