confit

Across cities like New York and London, that tradition has evolved into a modern kind of “rustic luxe”: homey duck confit and steak au poivre served under soft lighting and mismatched furniture.

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.
