Cooking Instructions and Tips

Roast the Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).

Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Bring on the Duck
2

Meanwhile, remove the confit duck legs from their packaging. Place onto a lined baking tray, skin-side up, and season with salt and pepper.

Roast on the middle shelf of your oven for 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the duck is piping hot throughout.

Finish the Prep
3

Meanwhile, core and cut the apple into 8 wedges (no need to peel).

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Make your Apple Sauce
4

While everything cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the apple wedges and fry, turning occasionally, until golden and starting to soften, 8-10 mins. 

When the apples are golden, add the chicken stock paste, apple and sage jelly and boiled water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). 

Season generously with pepper and simmer until thickened slightly, 4-5 mins.

Once thickened, add the butter and stir well to emulsify. Remove from the heat.

Cavolo Nero Time
5

When the potatoes and duck have 5 mins remaining, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. TIP: Discard any tough stalks from the cavolo nero.

When hot, add the cavolo nero and a splash of water and cover until wilted, 3-4 mins. Remove the lid, then add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min more.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid or foil to keep warm and set aside.

Serve
6

Share the confit duck legs between your plates.

Serve the roasted potatoes and cavolo nero alongside.

Spoon the glazed apple sauce over the confit duck to finish.
