Preferred Preparations for Our Muscovy Bone-In Duck Legs

Our Bone-In Muscovy Duck Legs are versatile and can be prepared in a variety of ways to bring out their tender, rich flavour. Here are four delicious preparation methods to try:

• Slow-Braised Duck Legs with Onions and Aromatics

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

2. Season the duck legs with salt and pepper.

3. In a large, heavy pot, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Sear the duck legs, skin-side down, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Remove the duck legs and set aside. In the same pot, sauté chopped onions, garlic, and a few sprigs of thyme until softened.

5. Add a cup of organic bone broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

6. Return the duck legs to the pot, cover, and place it in the oven for 2-2.5 hours, or until the duck is fork-tender.

7. Serve the duck legs with the rich, flavorful broth and onions for a comforting, melt-in-your-mouth dish.

• Pan-Seared Duck Legs with Garlic Herb Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Score the skin of the duck legs and season with sea salt and pepper.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the duck legs, skin-side down, for 8-10 minutes until the skin is crispy.

4. Flip the legs and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

5. While the duck is roasting, toss small potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped herbs, then roast them in the oven for 20 minutes until golden and crispy.

6. Serve the crispy duck legs alongside the garlic herb potatoes for a satisfying meal.
