Melissa Clark's Really Easy Duck Confit

This is not the confit they teach in cooking school, or the kind served at restaurants. It's the kind you can make any time -- all you need are a few good duck legs, a skillet and some very basic spices. And it's just as good. Melissa Clark's method is very simple, and the best perk is you don't need to come up with a vat of duck fat before you get going -- you just render some out from the cured duck legs themselves. Note: This recipe is easily halved. Adapted very slightly from In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite by Melissa Clark.
