ROASTED DUCK LEGS AND POTATOES RECIPE | NIGELLA LAWSON ...

Roasted Duck Legs and Potatoes Recipe | Nigella Lawson ... image

This is one of those leave em' and love em' meals. For all the ease of the express-style food, there is something to be said for simply stashing something in the oven for an hour or two when stuck in too-tired-to-cook mode. True, one needs a little patience, which might make this more of a lazy weekend dinner than the answer to your everyday exhaustion issues. You don't need to serve much alongside, perhaps no more than a fennel salad dressed with a spritz or two of orange juice and a squeeze of lime, or some bitter green salad leaves. When you're in a hurry, a duck breast can seem like the solution, but the leg, cheaper yet richer, is more of a treat for those who like to eat. Of course, it's fattier than the appropriately named leaner magret: that's what makes the leg taste better. And please - enough with the supposed health concerns. I mean: it's not as though the obesity-epidemic was caused by the overconsumption of duck legs. Besides, as the late great James Beard sniffily wrote "A gourmet" - and that's him, not me, I'm just greedy - "who looks at calories is like a tart who looks at her watch."

Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 2 hours 0 minutes

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 duck legs
2 baking potatoes or 1 pound other large white-skinned potatoes
Few sprigs of fresh thyme
Salt and pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
On the stove, heat a small roasting pan (I use one like a slightly oversized tarte tatin pan) and sear the duck legs, skin-side down over medium heat until the skin turns golden and gives out some oil.
Turn the legs over, and take the pan off the heat while you cut the potatoes into 1-inch slices across, then cut each slice into 4. Arrange these potato pieces around the duck legs, then let a few sprigs of thyme fall over the duck and potatoes, and season with salt and pepper, before putting into the preheated oven.
Cook for two hours, occasionally turning the potatoes, for optimal outcome, which is tender duck legs and crispy potatoes, though both will be ready to eat after 1 1/2 hours.
Making leftovers right: If you have even a small amount of meat left, you could bag and mark it up and store it in the freezer for up to two months for future use. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

CRISP-BRAISED DUCK LEGS WITH AROMATIC VEGETABLES RECIPE ...

Crisp-Braised Duck Legs with Aromatic Vegetables Recipe ... image

Crisp braised duck legs with vegetables is a simple, luxurious dish. You brown the duck until the skin is crackly and golden. You cook the vegetables in some of the rendered fat until they start to soften, then you add chicken stock and cook everything together in the oven until the duck is tender and super-crisp and the vegetables are melting and unctuous. Do not feel bound to the carrots, celery and onion called for in the recipe. Any number of root vegetables – infused with the rendered fat – would be incredible here.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Total Time 2 hours

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 duck legs, trimmed of excess fat
Salt and pepper to taste
2 large onion
1 pound carrots
6 celery stalks
2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade

Steps:

Put duck legs, skin side down, in a skillet large enough to accommodate all ingredients comfortably; turn heat to medium. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Brown duck legs carefully and evenly, sprinkling them with salt and pepper as they cook. Meanwhile, peel and dice vegetables.
When legs are nicely browned, turn them over and sear for just a minute or two. Remove to a plate; remove all but enough fat to moisten vegetables. Add vegetables to skillet along with some salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Return duck legs to pan, skin side up, and add stock; it should come about halfway up duck legs but should not cover them. Turn heat to high, bring to a boil, and transfer to oven.
Cook for 30 minutes, then lower heat to 350 degrees. Continue to cook, undisturbed, until duck is tender and liquid reduced, at least another half hour. The duck is done when a thin-bladed knife pierces the meat with little resistance. When done, duck will hold nicely in a warm oven for another hour. Serve hot.

MARY BERRY DUCK LEGS JAPANESE STYLE RECIPE | BBC2 LOVE TO ...

Inspired by Japanese flavours of miso, soy, ginger and rice vinegar, Mary Berry's roasted duck legs are a tender, flavourful way to cook with duck.
From thehappyfoodie.co.uk
Cuisine Japanese

To make the sauce, measure the cornflour into a small pan and stir in the miso paste, soy, lime zest and juice until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and a little salt and black pepper. Bring to the boil, stirring all the time, until thickened and coating the spoon. Set aside.

To cook the duck, arrange the legs in a large saucepan so they fit snugly in a single layer. Cover with the stock and add the ginger and garlic. Bring to the boil, cover, reduce the heat and simmer for about 1½ hours, or until tender. Set aside to cool in the stock.

Preheat the oven 220°C/200°C fan/Gas 7.

Remove the duck legs from the cooking liquid, reserving a small amount for the sauce, and place the legs in a single layer, skin side up, in a roasting tin. Brush a little of the sauce over the top of the duck legs and slide into the oven for about 20–25 minutes, until glazed and brown.

Meanwhile, reheat the remaining sauce in a small pan. Add a little of the reserved stock to thin the sauce, if necessary, then serve alongside the legs with pak choi or edamame beans.

Mary’s tips:

Duck legs can be poached up to a day ahead. Sauce can be made up to 4 days ahead.

Freezes well after first cooking.

EASY DUCK CONFIT RECIPE - NYT COOKING

The name of this recipe may seem laughable. Isn’t confit meant to be an arduous, messy, not-really-easy thing to make at home? Doesn’t it involve large quantities of hot liquid fat and even larger reserves of patience? Surely chefs have a trick to getting those duck legs to be so rich, so luxurious? This version is not traditional, and it is still a time investment for home cooks (the legs are cured for 24 hours, and then cooked for about 3 ½ hours more). But by allowing the duck legs to cook in their own rendered fat, rather than adding quarts of extra fat to the pan, you have a recipe that is far less of a pain to both prepare and clean up. And the method is truly simple, with results that are just as outrageously good. The duck lasts for at least 5 days in the refrigerator, and should be reheated in a 350-oven until warm. Then run the legs under the broiler until crisp.

Take the foil off the duck, remove the rack with the duck, and pour out the water and all the fat that has rendered out (this is great to use in other dishes like fried rice.) Put the rack with the duck back inside the roasting pan. Baste the duck with the vinegar mixture, until all the skin is completely coated in the glaze. Stick the whole thing in the oven. Roast the duck for 1 hour, basting periodically with any remaining glaze to set in a deep mahogany color. Tent the breast with some foil if it gets too dark. The legs will wiggle easily when it's done. Carve and serve.

Don't try to carve a roast duck; joint it. Remove the legs just as you would a chicken. Now take the whole breasts off the bone, which will make the duck go much further. Ease your knife along the breast bone then slice the breast. This will give four good servings of tender meat without any fattiness.
