This is a very simple dish to make it's just takes a long time to do it !
But what you end up with is well worth the time and it will keep for week's in the frig and the flavors just get better with time. You can get the duck fat a any food supply house or if you know a Chef ask them to save it for you. I will store the duck for 3 to 4 weeks before I use it. I like to serve this with a small salad with bleu cheese , poached pears ,arugula Confit baby potato's or any thin you like can be served as an App. or a main course.
