Confit

A slow cooking or preserving method using fat, syrup, or seasoned liquid.

Context

Confit matters because it gives guests a clearer way to read a menu: not only what is being served, but what kind of technique, texture, memory, or hospitality decision is behind it.

Example

It is used for duck, garlic, tomatoes, citrus peel, roots, and fruit.

How THT uses it

THT uses confit techniques to create tenderness, concentration, and luxury from humble ingredients.
