Duck Leg Recipes?

[Makhaira]

Got a nice couple of wild duck legs out of the freezer for tea tonight, and was just going to use one of my standard recipes to cook them up, but I thought I might see what the OcUK favourites were. Maybe you'll have some suggestions that take my fancy!

So OcUK, one oven, one hob, two duck legs, one meal. Suggestions?

I often just roast them like chicken legs and serve with roast veg and gravy. If you have a lot of spare duck fat you could slow roast them ala confit. Takes about 2-3 hours at 150 in the oven but the meat just falls from the bone and is so succulent. You can make cassoulet with is too

confit deg! Cooked in duck fat / oil at low temps for a few hours!

Confit is beautiful it's true, but don't have the fat on these to do that. You've reminded me that I need to make some more though so I've got some to hand!

I find that duck legs work well with some stir-fried noodles and veg.
Sprinkle a bit of five spice powder on the leg and roast in the over until cooked.
Then just cook up some veggies and noodles in a wok with some ginger, garlic, chilli and hoisin and soy sauces.
Simply serve the duck leg on top of the stir-fry and tuck in
