Slow-Cooked duck legs

[Pferdestarke]

I have a pair in the oven slowly roasting away at 135c. I want to try and render as much fat from beneath the skin as is possible before crisping them up by turning it up to 210c.

I usually do them for about an hour but as I am on a bit of a healthy-eating run in to christmas every little helps.

What should I serve them with that is tasty yet healthy? I'm thinkng quinoa but have never tried it.

Orange, gingered carrots ?

Some blacnhed leaks with creme fraice.

Red cabbage and onion?

Dont serve them with anything other than a Pint of ale as a snack!

Personally I'd just go for some boiled new potatoes or something similar... Had quinoa once, not a massive fan it has to be said...

My last duck leg dinner:



The gratin was made with double cream and lots of butter, in other words, not healthy in the slightest

However, as per what someone mentioned above, you could substitute for boiled new/charlotte potatoes. The asparagus works really well.

The sauce is a port & chicken stock reduction (reduce by half) then stir in beurre manie to thicken.

Orange and chicory salad.
