Ingredients Duck Confit2 duck legs2 garlic cloves, minced1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves1 Tbsp salt1 tsp black pepperDuck fat or pomace olive oil (enough to cover the duck legs) Apple Chutney 2 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped¼ cup chopped cranberries1 Tbsp chopped sage1 Tbsp butter1 Tbsp brown sugar¼ cup apple cider vinegar1 star anisePinch of cinnamon (optional)Salt to taste Instructions Duck Confit Prepare the duck: Pat the duck legs dry with paper towels. Rub them with the minced garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 12 hours. Cook the duck: Preheat the oven to 120°C. Rinse the duck legs to remove excess salt and herbs, then pat dry again. Place them in a baking dish and cover with duck fat or pomace oil. Bake: Cook the duck in the oven for 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away easily from the bone. Crisp the skin: Increase the oven temperature to 200°C and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or pan sear the duck legs in a skillet over medium high heat until crispy. Apple Chutney Cook the apples: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the star anise, sage and chopped fruit and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add sugar and vinegar: Stir in the brown sugar and apple cider vinegar (or water). Add a pinch of cinnamon if using, and a little salt. Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes until the apples are soft and the sauce thickens.
