confit

Crunchy and smooth shrimp croquettes, bright and flaky Basque ham and asparagus tarts, briny confit tuna and conserved-tomato toast, crisp then juicy, and pistachio white chocolate mousse.

The menu at Table 219 was a mélange of fun twists on classic dishes; duck confit nachos and sloppy joe sliders, for instance.

Caron invented dishes such as tomato confit, fennel and tulip bulb salad and oysters with tulip bulbs.

Instead, you get a harmonious porky bite with gamy undertones from the confit rabbit, beef tongue, duck wing meat and offal.

Duck confit, in which duck legs are immersed in duck fat and then slowly braised until they’re meltingly tender, is a classic of the genre.
