Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put the duck legs in one layer in a roasting tin on a bed of rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves. Sprinkle with salt and five-spice powder. Roast for 1 hr.

  • step 2

    Bring the wine and jelly to a gentle simmer, stirring to dissolve the jelly, then continue to simmer for 5 mins. When the duck has been cooking for an hr remove from the oven and spoon off almost all the fat (save it for roast potatoes), then pour the wine mixture around it and return to the oven for 10-15 mins to finish cooking and reduce the sauce.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKING IT WITH LAMB

Instead of duck legs, roast a half leg or shoulder of lamb for the same cooking time.

Great. A quarter of a bottle is plenty.

After reading through the comments I did a few tweaks. I used half chicken stock and half red wine but made it up to 500 mls. Bashed the garlic cloves and added whole new potatoes to the bed of rosemary. Sprinkled 1 teaspoon of five spice to the duck legs. I roasted it for one hour at 160 fan…

This was delicious, I have just finished eating it, the duck went with some cauliflower mash and red cabbage (both homemade) I will definitely make again, thank you.

We've just finished eating this. Very tasty. Did like others, put potatoes in with it. I think the red wine rather over-powered the flavour of the duck though so next time I'd use chicken stock like someone else did. Do love these Goodfood recipes!

Instead if making the sauce I used red wine stock pots made to 500ml
