Picked up a skin-on bone-in pork shoulder roast. 8 hours @250, then blasted after @500FR t6o blister the skin. SO much meat! Son and grandson will be up to grab  most of it tomorrow. Roasted Japanese sweet tater, carrots, and zucchini spears.

Had Lotus Root and dried octopus soup for lunch earlier in the day.

Yeap. 18 h@68 oC, chilled overnight, then 25 min@230 oC fan assisted oven to crisp up …

So I am almost certain I am being dense but did you actually confit the legs? That is were they cured before being cooked? I am asking because I have a couple of duck legs in the freezer that I would like to cook but I don’t particularly want to confit.

They were not cured before. From my experience with proper salting* before bagging the long SV time produces something similar to a confit (texture- and flavorwise). They definitely are tender and flavorful …

 

* plus pepper, cloves, juniper berries, bayleaf and star anise.

Of course an eGer just happens to land in Bora Bora in a Pandemic ;)  Looks like served in a mature coconut shell. Was the coconut flesh soft ennough to still scoop or just a vessel? Is that a nicely ripe passion fruit on the left. Just eaten alongside? Thanks!

The Passion fruit  was super killer-- bitter/  tart and sweet/  it might have a texture that could be off putting.  Not me.

So with the coconuts/  u shake them/ if they have liquid/ good to go.  Most of the meat was hard/ u could cut it diagonally in strips or you can scrape it/  which flakes( grates ) it and that is squeezer for the milk

Thanks. I am a coconut long timer - I just wondered if in the ceviche it was part  of the experience. Passion fruit is quite powerful.  I picked some yellow up at a local flea market once  - put the bag in the back seat and scent!  Hence the name ;) intoxicating. 

 

I lucked into some Pacific wild cod at $3.50/lb frozen. Second dish today, Yesterday was a coconut based chipotle corn and potatoes. Like a sorta chowder. Surprisingly I used canned sweet corn. Our fresh corn this year was useless and the frozen both was chewy and tasteless. So today a mustard based sauce again with coconut (gotta use it up) The fish was just mushed up a bit to become part of he sauce along with windowsill basil.. Not much color but here ya go with rice and kale salad. I am happy.

There are a myriad versions of faux confit, here Melissa Clark's.    Essentially, season and bake.

FABULOUS RANGE!     What exactly is this?     i grew up with a dual stove, wood burning on one side, gas on the other, but not with that glorious glass door!

I highly recommend Mark Bittman's NY Times crisp-braised duck legs with aromatic vegetables.  Even for me an easy recipe.

Thank you. I have done duck confit many times. As I said, that was not my aim.

Thank you. I have a very similar recipe which I adore but I was much more interested in time and temperature to cook duck legs sous vide without the confit step. 
edited to add that I will just use the time and temperature given and skip the salting.

What to do with a massive amount of leftover roast pork? Give most to the grandson and his GF.
Tonight, I used some cubed in a green curry with eggplant, sugar snap peas ('cos I had them) and some frozen peas. I love curry leaves, so tossed some in.
It was all made in one pot, and we enjoyed it with some diced tomato, cilantro, and jasmine rice.
The rest of the pork will be eaten as sandwiched for lunch!

I just spent time talking about the nuances of dialects faced by interpreters and thought of you and then this lovely re-purpose of your pork shoulder popped up. I would welcome a seat at your table anytime.
