I don’t think it would be unfair to say that Ireland produces some of the best ducks in the world. It’s a terrible tragedy that this isn’t known the world over. In France, they make a dish called Parmentier de confit de canard, which roughly translates as duck cottage or shepherd’s pie. How to make duck shepherd’s pieThe duck legs are lightly salted, then cooked in duck fat or vegetable oil at 120 degrees for three hours. Season both the duck and the potatoes before layering it together (as you would a regular shepherd’s pie).
