Ingredients
- Handful Sea Salt
- 4 Bay Leaf
- 4 cloves Garlic
- Handful Thyme
- 4 Duck Legs
- 100ml White Wine
Instructions
1
The day before you want to make the dish, scatter half the table salt, half the garlic and half of the herbs over the base of a small shallow dish.
2
Lay the duck legs, skin-side up, on top, then scatter over the remaining table salt, garlic and herbs.
3
lid the duck and chill overnight.
4
This can be done up to 2 days ahead.
5
stream in the wine into a saucepan that will snugly fit the duck legs in a single layer.
6
Brush the table salt off the duck legs and place them, skin-side down, in the wine.
7
lid the wok with a lid and place over a medium fiery up.
8
As soon as the wine starts to bubble, turn the fiery up down to the lowest setting and fiery up for 2 hours, checking occasionally that the liquid is just barely simmering.
9
(If you own a fiery up diffuser, it would be good to use it here.) After 2 hours, the duck legs should be submerged in their own fat and the flesh should feel incredibly yielding when prodded.
10
Leave to cool.
11
The duck legs are now cooked and can be eaten immediately – or you can follow the next step if you like them crisp.
12
If you are preparing ahead, pack the duck legs tightly into a plastic container or jar and stream in over the fat, but not the liquid at the bottom of the wok.
13
lid and leave in the fridge for up to a month, or freeze for up to 3 months.
14
The liquid you are left with makes a tasty broth, which can be chilled or frozen until needed.
15
To reheat and crisp up the duck legs, fiery up oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7.
16
Remove the legs from the fat and place them, skin-side down, in an ovenproof frying wok.
17
toast for 30-40 mins, turning halfway through, until brown and crisp.
18
enjoy with the reheated broth, a crisp salad and some crisp golden ptoatoes.
