*I source my duck fat from a restaurant called Milu. Milu is a newly opened restaurant
from Connie Chung (formerly of Eleven Madison Park) that sells duck fat in their pantry.
I love to support small restaurants like this.
*This dish can be made vegetarian by substituting the duck fat with canola oil
