Instructions

Roast the Duck Leg
1

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

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 top shelf of your oven for 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw duck and its packaging. Ensure the duck is piping hot throughout.

Prep the Veg
2

Meanwhile, boil a full kettle.

Cut the potato into 2cm chunks.

Cook the Mash
3

Pour the boiled water into a saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt and bring back to the boil on high heat. Add the potatoes, reduce the heat and simmer until soft, 15-18 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan. Add the butter (see pantry) and season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth. 

Cook the Cavolo
4

Meanwhile, place a large frying pan on high heat with a drizzle of oil. Discard any tough stalks from the cavolo nero.

Add the cavolo nero and a splash of water and cover until wilted, 3-4 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

Make the Sauce
5

Meanwhile, pour the water (see pantry) into a small saucepan. If your red wine jus paste has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Bring the saucepan to the boil, then stir in the red wine jus paste and mushrooms. Reduce the heat to medium, then bubble away until the sauce has reduced by half, 5-6 mins. 

Once glossy and thickened, remove from the heat.

Serve
6

Share the mash between your plates.

Serve the roasted duck leg with the cavolo nero alongside.

Pour over the mushroom red wine jus to finish.
