This is a cornerstone of Gascon and Southwest French cuisine. The dish consists of duck legs that have been cured with salt and then slow-cooked in their own fat until incredibly tender. The meat becomes so soft it falls off the bone, while the skin is crisped up before serving. It is a rich, comforting dish typically served with potatoes cooked in duck fat (pommes sarladaises). It showcases the region's mastery of preserving and cooking waterfowl.
