Duck legs and cauliflower
That scent that fill the house during this slow, covered cooking surely contribute to its great comforting quality. The duck is a little like confit, and the garlic and cauliflower just melt in your mouth. There's no need to add any fat to the pan at the beginning, the duck legs have enough in them to cook the meat until tender as well as confit the cauliflower. Reserve the cooking fat for a later soup.
