I have heard that is the best thing to do with duck legs, confits. But what is rillette and rillons?

 

[ORChick]

I have made duck confit, but not the others. Rillets, as I understand is, is basically shredded pork preserved in lard. I have a book somewhere; I'll try to find it.

All sounds greek to me In other words I have NO idea

 

[savingdogs]

well the concept is using fat to preserve, correct?

is that similar to "larding" the process of cooking down the pork, and cooking and cooking and cooking, and then storing it in it's own grease, the grease keeps the air off, and I guess keeps it from going bad?
haven't done it, but have read about "larding"
