Arrange duck legs in a single layer in a large non-metal dish.
Combine salt, onion, garlic and thyme together and rub all over duck legs.
Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Rinse salt from duck, pat dry with absorbent paper and arrange in a single layer in a large baking dish.
Pour Moro Tradicional Olive Oil over duck legs and bake for 3 hours at 100°C until very tender.
Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate until required.
To cook, remove duck legs from oil and cook in a hot non-stick pan on both sides until skin is crisp and meat is heated through. Serve with Sweet Potato Mash, Pinot Cherries and syrup.
Note: To keep duck confit for longer periods (several weeks) ensure the duck is kept in a non-metal dish and is totally submerged in oil.
Heat pinot, sugar and cloves in a saucepan until dissolved then boil without stirring for 5-10 minutes until reduced by 2/3.
Stir in vinegar and simmer a further 5 minutes. Season to taste.
Pour over cherries and allow to cool, stirring occasionally.
Allow to stand for at least one hour and serve with duck confit.
