1. Preheat the oven to 190C/ gas 5/fan 170C. Put the duck legs in a shallow roasting tin and rub with salt, pepper, ground cinnamon and the oil. Roast for 25 minutes. Heat the cranberry jelly until thick and syrupy, then brush all over the duck and return to the oven for 20 minutes, until burnished and mahogany brown.
2. Put the onions and parsnips on the bottom of a heavybased shallow casserole and sit the duck on top. Sprinkle the spices and 1 tsp sugar over the duck and tuck the orange zest and cinnamon sticks around. Pour over 600ml/1 pint of the stock, so the duck sits in a shallow puddle. Cover and bring to a bubble on the hob, place in the oven and leave to murmur away for 1 hour. Add the cashews, cranberries and 1 tbsp sugar and cook for a further 30 minutes, uncovered, to let the duck skin crisp up.
3. Meanwhile, to prepare the couscous, tip into a heatproof bowl. Pour over the remaining 600ml/1 pint of stock. Leave for a minute or two, then fork it through. Leave for 4 minutes, then fluff through with a fork, with extra seasoning.
4. To serve, pile the couscous on to a plate and top with a duck leg, some vegetables, nuts and fruits, then spoon over the rich juices from the pan and scatter with mint. Or, if you make in advance, simply reheat for 30 minutes in a moderate oven.

  Made this for my husbands birthday dinner and we both really enjoyed it, I left out the parsnips and used dried cranberries.
