Duck with Marmalade: A Scottish recipe for a classic dish of duck legs roasted in a spiced orange and marmalade glaze.
Ingredients:
4 small duck legs
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
pinch of Chinese five-spice powder
2 tbsp bitter orange marmalade
finely-grated zest of 1 orange
juice of 1 orange
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
orange wedges, to garnish
1 batch
buttery herbed couscous, to accompany
Method:
Use a sharp skewer to prick the duck legs all over then place in the base of a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, whisk together the garlic, ginger, five-spice powder, orange marmalade, orange zest and orange juice in a bowl. Pre-heat your grill (broiler) to its highest setting.
Drain the duck legs then arrange on a foil-lined grill pan, setting them skin side down. Spoon over half the orange mixture, spreading this evenly over the legs. Set under your grill (broiler) and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the duck legs over, then spoon over the remaining marinade mixture.
Season liberally with salt and freshly-ground black pepper, then place back under the grill and cook for 5 minutes more, or until the duck skin is charred and crisp.
Serve hot on a bed of buttery herbed couscous.
