Confit, or oil-sealing, is a method of meat preservation originating from the southwestern region of France.
And duck confit is a flavorful dish found everywhere, from the Elysée Palace to small village restaurants!
Hmm!
They say foreigners don't eat animal offal?
That's not actually true.
At least, the French do.
Things like foie gras, duck hearts, even duck butts…
In short, for the French, every part of a duck, except its feathers, can be used in a dish.
Perhaps having prepared in advance, Mujiuzhi quickly served a plate of duck confit, accompanied by boiled potatoes and cheese, which gleamed under the light.
Especially the rich aroma, steamed with spices, was even more captivating!
…
Crispy!
Crunchy!
Visibly so.
The duck skin on the outside had already been rendered crispy and crunchy by the oil.
At this moment, Nagiri Mana, whose expression was calm, gently pricked it with a fork, revealing that the meat inside was, on the contrary, very tender.
An exquisitely soul-stirring aroma of duck confit burst forth, so tempting, yet so rare to find!
It must be said that as a former Totsuki Academy graduate, Sonoka's French cuisine truly reached an extremely high standard, making one feel a reluctance to miss out.
"Ma… Mana-sama!"
Beside her, Anne seemed somewhat panicked and anxious.
Then, under the gaze of both her and Mujiuzhi, Mana finally cut a small piece of duck meat with her knife and fork and slowly brought it to her mouth.
The duck skin was crispy, the duck meat soft and tender, and a multitude of flavors spread in her mouth, becoming more fragrant with each chew.
Paired with potatoes that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and juicy tomatoes, it was as if she had entered a farm and enjoyed a satisfying meal there, unable to be more content.
In fact, duck confit has two key elements:
One is the ratio and preparation of the seasoning salt, and the other is the temperature and time of slow roasting.
Clearly, from the taste and texture, Sonoka had mastered both of these key elements very well.
However, delicious as it was.
To conquer Nagiri Mana with such a dish was still very, very far off.
