<>My dad grew up dirt poor, & they butchered a hog a year. His favorite was his mom would fry up all the pork chops put them in a crock the cover them in lard.When you wanted some you just dug out the pork chop & reheated them in the lard.
Duck meat can be done the dame way using the duck fat.
The practice is known as Confit.
Confit (/kɒnfi/, French pronunciation: [kɔ̃fi]) (from the French word confire, literally "to preserve")[1][2] is any type of food that is cooked slowly over a long period as a method of preservation.[1]
Confit, as a cooking term, describes when food is cooked in grease, oil, or sugar water (syrup), at a lower temperature, as opposed to deep frying. While deep frying typically takes place at temperatures of 160–230 °C (325–450 °F), confit preparations are done at a much lower temperature, such as an oil temperature of around 90 °C (200 °F), or sometimes even cooler. The term is usually used in modern cuisine to mean long, slow cooking in oil or fat at low temperatures, many having no element of preservation, such as in dishes like confit potatoes.
For meat, this method requires the meat to be salted as part of the preservation process. After salting and cooking in fat, confit can last for several months or years when sealed and stored in a cool, dark place. Confit is a specialty of southwestern France.
How the puck can you have a name like leVieux and tremble at fine French dining? What next denouncing Duck Fat Fries?<>
My coronary arteries are trembling at those thoughts. . . . .
What brand/type of freeze dryer do you use?We're freeze drying 20 lbs of venison meatballs this week. We will add them to the freeze dried spaghetti with red sauce already in storage to raise the protein content. Already put up batches of venison chili and venison stew.
Canned 2 cases of wild boar dog food last week.
