For the Confit

2 cups Whole Peeled Garlic Substitution: Use garlic cloves peeled and chopped if whole is unavailable.
1 cup Shallots Substitution: Can replace with red or yellow onions, leeks, or scallions (white part only).
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary Substitution: Use dried rosemary, added after cooking.
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme Substitution: Dried thyme can be used but should be added later.
1 cup Avocado Oil Substitution: Olive oil can be used, but avoid for high heat cooking due to lower smoke point.
1 teaspoon Crushed Red Chili Flakes (optional) Omit for a milder flavor.
