Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
• 2 duck legs
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) duck fat

follows)
• Salt and Herb Cure (enough for 2
duck legs):
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon crushed black pepper

thyme, bay leaf, clove.

thorough coverage of the duck legs.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Rub duck legs with the cure and refrigerate at least 8 hours, overnight if possible.

tablespoon/15ml) of duck fat per leg.
7. Prior to serving, crisp the duck skin in a skillet over low heat until browned.
