Steps:
- Season the duck legs with kosher salt on both sides. Place them in a large resealable bag. Add the lemon zest and slices, garlic, allspice berries, juniper berries and fresh thyme. Seal, and massage the duck legs through the bag until all of the ingredients are evenly dispersed. Refrigerate for 24 hours to marinate.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).
- Remove the duck legs from the marinade. Rinse them off and pat dry. Place the rest of the contents of the bag into the bottom of an oven safe dish just large enough to hold the legs in a single layer, preferably enameled cast iron or glass. Arrange the duck legs skin side down in the dish. Pour the duck fat into a small saucepan and warm over low heat until liquid. Pour over the duck legs until they are completely covered. If the legs are not covered, you can top it off with some olive oil. As the legs cook, more fat will be rendered from the skin. Cover the dish with a lid.
- Bake for 6 to 7 hours in the preheated oven, until the meat pulls easily from the bone. Remove the duck legs from the fat and place in a sealable container. You may leave the bones in or remove them. Make sure there is room at the top of the container. Strain all of the solids from the remaining fat and discard the solids. Pour the fat over the duck in the container, covering completely. Seal and allow to come to room temperature. Once the jar is cool, place in the refrigerator and let the duck meat cure for 2 months. Reserve any leftover duck fat for other uses.

Steps:
- The day before you want to make the dish, scatter half the salt, half the garlic and half of the herbs over the base of a small shallow dish. Lay the duck legs, skin-side up, on top, then scatter over the remaining salt, garlic and herbs. Cover the duck and refrigerate overnight. This can be done up to 2 days ahead.
- Pour the wine into a saucepan that will snugly fit the duck legs in a single layer. Brush the salt off the duck legs and place them, skin-side down, in the wine. Cover the pan with a lid and place over a medium heat. As soon as the wine starts to bubble, turn the heat down to the lowest setting and cook for 2 hours, checking occasionally that the liquid is just barely simmering. (If you own a heat diffuser, it would be good to use it here.) After 2 hours, the duck legs should be submerged in their own fat and the meat should feel incredibly tender when prodded. Leave to cool.
- The duck legs are now cooked and can be eaten immediately - or you can follow the next step if you like them crisp. If you are preparing ahead, pack the duck legs tightly into a plastic container or jar and pour over the fat, but not the liquid at the bottom of the pan. Cover and leave in the fridge for up to a month, or freeze for up to 3 months. The liquid you are left with makes a tasty gravy, which can be chilled or frozen until needed.
- To reheat and crisp up the duck legs, heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Remove the legs from the fat and place them, skin-side down, in an ovenproof frying pan. Roast for 30-40 mins, turning halfway through, until brown and crisp. Serve with the reheated gravy, a crisp salad and some crisp golden ptoatoes.

Steps:
- The day before cooking, put the cumin and coriander seeds in a dry pan and toast until they are slightly coloured and aromatic. Remove to a board and crush them with the blade of a knife. Crush the juniper berries and mix with the spices and the salt. Rub the mixture over the duck, scatter with thyme, rosemary and sliced garlic and chill for 24 hrs, turning two or three times as they marinate.
- Next day, heat oven to 150C/130C fan/ gas 2. Wipe the duck with kitchen paper and pat dry, but don't wash off the marinade. (The salt extracts the water from the meat cells, which will be reinflated with fat as the duck cooks gently. If you wash it, you will simply reinflate the cells with water.)
- Put the duck in a cast-iron casserole and cover with the goose fat or duck fat. Add the bay leaves and peppercorns and cook for about 2½ hrs, or until the meat is almost falling away from the bone. You can store the duck very simply by placing it in a pudding bowl, covering it with the fat and keeping it in the fridge: as long as it stays covered with fat it will last for weeks.
- To cook, remove the confit duck legs from their fat. Put an ovenproof frying pan on the stove until it is hot. Add the duck legs, skin-side down, and cook for 4 mins. Turn the legs and transfer the pan to the oven for 30 mins, until crisp.

Steps:
- 1. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of salt in the bottom of a dish or plastic container large enough to hold the duck pieces in a single layer. Evenly scatter half the garlic, shallots, and thyme in the container. Arrange the duck, skin-side up, over the salt mixture, then sprinkle with the remaining salt, garlic, shallots, and thyme and a little pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 days.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 225°F. Melt the duck fat in a small saucepan. Brush the salt and seasonings off the duck. Arrange the duck pieces in a single snug layer in a high-sided baking dish or ovenproof saucepan. Pour the melted fat over the duck (the duck pieces should be covered by fat) and place the confit in the oven. Cook the confit slowly at a very slow simmer - just an occasional bubble - until the duck is tender and can be easily pulled from the bone, 2-3 hours. Remove the confit from the oven. Cool and store the duck in the fat. (The confit will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.)

Steps:
- For the confit: Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Arrange the duck legs in a single layer in a high-sided baking pan. Season the duck heavily with salt and pepper, toss in thyme and garlic. Pour oil over the duck and bake for 2 to 3 hours. Remove the duck from the fat, shred the meat from the bones and set in a bowl.
- To prepare the pancakes: In a bowl or blender, combine flour, salt, eggs, and sesame seeds. Gradually whisk in the milk, the batter should be lump free and the consistency of heavy cream. Add a little water to thin out if necessary. Fold in chopped scallions.
- Coat a 6 or 8-inch skillet with peanut oil or non-stick spray and place over medium heat. Ladle about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pan and swirl around so it covers the bottom; pour back any excess. The batter will dry before your eyes. Cook for 1 minute until lightly golden but not crisp, then flip over. Remove the pancake to a platter and repeat until all the batter is used.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the shredded duck meat with carrot, scallion, thyme, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, chile paste and sesame oil; season with salt and pepper. Lay a small amount of the filling in the scallion pancake and roll up. Arrange them on a baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 10 minutes.
CHINESE-STYLE DUCK CONFIT
The title really says it all - duck confit with a Chinese twist. From one of my favorite chefs, the late, but very great, Barbara Tropp, and her great cookbook, China Moon.

Steps:
- Combine the peppercorns and salt in a heavy skillet and toast over moderate heat, stirring, until the salt turns off-white, about 5 minutes.
- Adjust the heat so the peppercorns do not burn, but expect them to smoke.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then run through a spice grinder or food processor until you get a very fine powder.
- Sieve to get rid of any husks from the peppercorns.
- Set aside.
- Sprinkle about 1/3 (about 1 tbl.) of the pepper-salt generously over the duck legs, massaging it well into the skin.
- Save the rest of the pepper-salt for another use.
- Put the legs in a zip-lock bag or a glass container covered tightly with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge overnight.
- Let come to room temperature before cooking.
- Heat a large heavy casserole over moderate heat until hot enough to evaporate a bead of water on contact.
- Add 2 tbl.
- of the duck fat and swirl to glaze the bottom of the pan.
- Add the duck legs in a single layer and brown on both sides.
- Adjust the heat so the skin browns without scorching and drizzle in a bit more fat if needed.
- Remove the pot from the heat and carefully drain off any burned fat.
- Return the pot and seared duck legs to moderate heat.
- Add the duck fat and the confit seasonings.
- Nudge the legs from the bottom while the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, then adjust the heat so that the fat does not boil.
- Simmer uncovered until the duck is very tender at it's thickest part and almost falling off the bone, about 40 minutes.
- Use tongs to carefully transfer the legs to a shallow container.
- Let the fat cool until tepid, about 30 minutes, then carefully strain over the duck legs.
- Discard the solids.
- Arrange the legs so they are completely submerged in the fat, and place, uncovered, in the refrigerator.
- Once the fat congeals, cover the container tightly.
- In this state, the confit can be stored for 1 day to 2 weeks before using.
- To serve, warm the container over low heat or in a slow oven until the fat turns liquid, then remove the legs.
- Strip the legs of skin, then pull the meat from the bone in shreds.
- Discard the skin, bones and any cartilage.
- The meat is best when just taken from the bone, but you can store it in the refrigerator in shreds, just warm to room temperature before using.
- You may have to adjust the seasonings with more pepper-salt.
- The seasoned duck fat can be frozen indefinitely.
- Strain through several layers of dry cheesecloth to trap excess pepper-salt, then seal and freeze for your next batch of confit.
- On the second go-round you won't need to season the duck fat, but you will need to add 2 cups of fresh duck fat to the pot in order to cover the same amount of legs.
CRISPY SHREDDED DUCK AND NOODLE SALAD

Steps:
- Cook noodles in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold water and drain well. Stir together vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until sugar is dissolved, then add noodles and toss well.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté duck pieces, starting with skin sides down and turning occasionally, until skin and meat are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a cutting board. (Do not clean skillet.)
- When duck is cool enough to handle, remove crisp skin from meat and thinly slice skin. Remove and discard any excess fat from meat, then shred meat into 1/4-inch-wide pieces.
- Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry shallot, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes (watch closely, as shallot can burn easily). Quickly transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Working around core of cucumber, cut thin lengthwise slices (about 1/8 inch thick) with slicer, then stack slices. Halve stack crosswise, then cut slices lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide matchsticks.
- Cut each peach half lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick wedges with slicer or a sharp knife.
- Put 1 lettuce leaf on each of 6 plates, then divide noodles among leaves and top with duck (meat and skin), cucumber, peach, shallot, and herbs. To eat, roll lettuce leaf into a cylinder to enclose filling.
