Yield:
2 servings
Ingredients:
- FRENCH DUCK LEGS SKIN-ON (2 PIECES, ~660G) | NEW
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large onion
- 1 pound carrots
- 6 celery stalks
- 2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
Instructions:
- Put duck legs, skin side down, in a skillet / pan large enough to accommodate all ingredients comfortably, turn heat to medium. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Brown duck legs carefully & evenly, sprinkling them with salt & pepper as they cook. Meanwhile, peel & dice vegetables.
- When legs are nicely browned, turn them over & 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 & 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, & add stock, it should come about halfway up duck legs but should not cover them. Turn heat to high, bring to a boil, & transfer to oven.
- Cook for 30 minutes, then lower heat to 350 degrees. Continue to cook, undisturbed, until duck is tender & 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.
