For the Confit Chicken Gizzards

Add gizzards to a small roasting pan, cover with duck fat, and confit 4 hours. Strain gizzards from fat and chill.

For the Vinaigrette

In a blender, combine shallot, mustard, garlic, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. With the motor running, drizzle in olive oil to emulsify.
