What is confit

When you say things in French they seem somehow more exciting and delicious. Confit, for instance, comes from the French word “confire” which literally means 'to preserve.' So, when you see that word tied to things like duck or violets, you can translate that to preserved duck meat or preserved violet flowers.

Confit is a preservation technique to help you prep ahead to build a well-stocked pantry, lower cooking time for French-inspired meals at home, and allow you to enjoy fresh flavors even when a vegetable is not in season. The process requires precision, but, if anything, the hardest part of the process is pronouncing the term correctly: con-fee.

"Confit" is a French cooking term that refers to cooking fatty cuts of meat slowly in their own, or some other animal’s, fat. Although it may sound fancy, the technique is actually quite simple to execute at home.
