Reply to comment by DivePalau in TIL Duck is considered a red meat by culinary standards. by BertyBert1

Agreed! Basically it's duck legs that are slow-cooked in duck fat, then sealed in a container with more duck fat poured over them. It's a really old way of preserving meat that also happens to be delicious!

And then you take them out of the can, swipe the fat in a pan, put the legs in the oven (I love when the skin gets a bit crunchy)... And sautée/broil/otherwise fry some diced potatoes in the fat meanwhile.

Serve duck+potatoes with some green salad with vinaigrette seasoning as a side. Simple and way tastier than chicken or steak.
