If a well-celebrated dish like duck confit is your thing, then do we have the recipe for you today!
Instead of rendering duck fat, which might be more difficult to get in town, we used Borges’ Extra Virgin Olive Oil as an alternative to confit the duck meat; It’s also little lighter on the taste buds too! We paired this dish with broccolini, sautéed in garlic for a clean finish to this wholesome dish. A perfect main for a date for two any day of the week.
