I bought some duck fat in Normandy. I think that I have heard that it is good to cook vegetables using this. Can anyone give me ideas (seriously on what to do with this)?
Depending on how much you have. If a lot, confit de canard. If a little just roast some potatoes with it or do sauted potatoes with it. You can add some rosemary to the potatoes if you like. Use google for the methodologies for these things.

I love doing roast potatoes with duckfat. I usually melt a spoonful in a small container or pot (depending on microwave or stove method) and pouring it over the potatoes in their roasting tin, making sure to toss them around to make sure potatoes are coated.
Enjoy!

You can fry french-fries in it as well, and then store it in your freezer, it can be reused many times, and if you make confit, the supply never diminishes!

I do the same, and strain the used duck fat back into the jar.

Duck fat and more so goose fat is good for roast potatoes to give them a good finish with the right crispiness and colour. It is best not to use them for smaller-piece vegetables as it is very high in calories and cholesterol. Next time you roast duck or goose then save some of the fat because there will be plenty spare.
