Ingredients for 4 servings

4 Beautiful "Mulard" duck thighs
coarse sea salt
Placed in a small cloth or medium tea filter
A little thyme, 2 bay leaves, a little rosemary, 2 small slices of ginger, a few crushed peppercorns and a little dried porcini mushrooms.
if needed a little duck fat

Step-by-step directions

The Day Before

1- Trim all the fat around the thighs.

2- In a large dish pour a little coarse salt, then place your thighs and cover them with coarse salt, wrap with film and refrigerate for 24 hours.

3- Finely slice your fat and melt it slowly. Once done, strain this fat.

4- The Next Day, remove your thighs rinsing them well with cold water then pat dry.

5- In an oven-safe shallow dish, place your thighs, pour the fat over them. If you don't have enough, add a little more fat to cover them. On the side, submerge your small seasoning pouch in it.

6- Preheat your oven to 85° (gas mark 3) then place your covered dish in the middle for 5 hours of cooking.

7- Test the cooking by inserting a needle which should meet no resistance.

8- Then remove them and pour the fat over them and let cool.

9- If you want to serve immediately, drain them then place them on a dish and turn your oven to Grill setting so they take on a beautiful golden color, served for example as on my plate with small sautéed potatoes and fresh porcini mushroom cubes.

10- Otherwise place them in jars, cover with fat and store in the refrigerator.
