8 Duck Legs
1.5 - 2 oz. Sea Salt
1.25 oz. Cloves Garlic, smashed
3/4 Tbsp Crushed Bay Leaves
1/4 Tbsp Whole Black Pepper
1/8 Tbsp Whole Cloves
4 quarts melted (ready-to-use) Duck Fat
— Clean the duck legs and marinate in a mixture of all other ingredients (except for duck fat) for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
— Brush salt and seasonings off of duck, and place in a shallow pan. Cover with melted duck fat and cook for 3 hours. The fat should simmer slowly, with only an occasional bubble.
— Pan sear (skin side down) for 5 minutes and finish in oven until warm.
— Duck fat can be strained, cooled and then stored in the fridge for reuse next time!
