Salt, fat and time: Fallow's lesson in confit duck

A Le Gavroche history lesson shares the menu with James Beard's garlic chicken and a cookie-shaping tip.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

One of the Simplest Michelin Techniques

The duck gets its crisp finish only after the patient part is done. In Fallow's "One of the Simplest Michelin Techniques", the legs are salted, rinsed and cooked slowly in fat with herbs before meeting a frying pan. Greens, crispy sage and sauce complete the plate. The narrator's ingredient list is pleasingly spare: "Just salt, fat and time."

The Short also makes room for Le Gavroche, the London restaurant opened by Albert and Michel Roux that became Britain's first to earn three Michelin stars. Archival photographs connect the dish to a kitchen whose alumni include Gordon Ramsay and Monica Galetti. At roughly 1.6 million views, it is the most-watched of Fallow's four uploads this week.

Viewers pick up on the value of simple food cooked carefully, swap ideas for using duck fat on roast potatoes and ask for a longer confit tutorial. One describes starting a cooking apprenticeship after being inspired by the channel, a particularly fitting response to a film about culinary inheritance.

Patience also runs through "Why 40 Cloves of Garlic Makes Chicken Incredible". Fallow's version of James Beard's dish builds flavour with roasted bones, enriched stock, vermouth and softened garlic, with sourdough for the sauce. A cookie-shaping tip rounds out the week's practical lessons.

The freshest momentum belongs to "This has been called \"Butter of the Gods\"", while the month-old "This Might Be Our Best Potato Dish Yet" remains busy. Channel-wide daily viewing is above its usual pace, and Fallow added about 20,000 subscribers over the week. Among its nearby food-channel peers, it also recorded the largest weekly gain in views.

As much as I love a complex and nuanced recipe, sometimes it's just hard to beat "simple done right"

The little twirl at the end 😂

I have been cooking at home and learning more and more for 5 years now. I keep making the same observation that perfect technique and patience yields the absolute best food. Complexity adds very little to dishes and often takes away their best qualities.

Cooking in general is a testament to humans ability to turn obstacles like food preservation into food preference.

I'm hoping this is the short version of a full video on confit duck. I've been looking for a good trainer vid on confit duck.
