Roasted duck legs with orange and garam masala

This is a really easy recipe that brings out the best in a few ingredients that work really well together.

Ingredients:

1. a few duck legs (depending on who you're feeding)
2. a handful of oranges
3. some garam masala
4. a little bit of duck fat
5. salt and pepper

Method:

• pat the duck skins dry, then score and rub well with salt
• leave the duck to rest for around an hour at room temperature
• get the oven heated to 160 C
• put a little duck fat into a smallish casserole dish, skin side up, then pop in the duck legs (they should just fit)
• turn the oven down to 140 C and put the duck in
• juice around 5 oranges and add to a pan
• zest 2 of these oranges and put the zest into fresh water
• with around an hour of the duck's cooking time to go, put the orange juice into a pan and bring to a simmer, this needs to be stirred and basically moved around throughout
• turn the heat down and allow to reduce by half (adding a little black pepper)
• with around 20 minutes of the cooking time to go, add zest (that you've taken out of the water) to the juice and sprinkle a little garam masala over each duck leg
• serve each duck leg smothered with a generous spoon of orange sauce
