Cooking Instructions
- Season the duck legs with salt and scatter over the herbs. Pour over the 1/2 cup of wine and marinate for 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 120°C. Transfer the duck legs to a deep ovenproof casserole. Cover with duck fat or canola oil and bring to a very light simmer on the stove.
- Cover, transfer to the oven and bake for 3 hour, or until the meat easily comes away from the bone. Cool, then chill overnight.
To serve:
Arrange the bok choy, cucumber ribbons, orange segments and baby leaves on a plate, then top with the duck legs, drizzle with the dressing and scatter with sesame seeds and coriander leaves.
To make the dressing:
- Heat the sunflower oil in a wide-bottomed pan until smoking lightly. Add the chopped duck carcasses or legs and brown well. Add the onion and slowly caramelise. Add the spices, bottle of red wine, orange zest, 2 cups orange juice, 6 T vinegar and sugar, then reduce by half. Add the water and simmer for 2 hours.
- Strain, return to the stovetop and reduce to ¾ cup. Cool, then chill. Boil the remaining orange juice until it starts to thicken slightly.
- Add the remaining vinegar and boil for a further minute, then add ¾ cup of the chilled dressing base and boil for 1 minute. Cool, then whisk in the olive oil.
