Background

The original recipe on which this oven baked spiced duck legs with plums is based was one by Jamie Oliver – I adjusted the amounts a bit to suit my taste. I’ve made this dish several times over the years, as it cooks by itself in the oven, so I hardly have to do anything. It’s an ideal dish for many occasions during the winter festivities, including Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year. Best served with boiled rice and a couple of side dishes - or you can shred the meat and serve wrapped in Chinese pancakes as a starter or party nibble.

Ingredients

4 duck legs
4 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp five-spice mixture
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cinnamon stick
5 star anise
10-15 plums (depending on size)
1 chilli pepper
1 Tbsp muscovado sugar

Instructions

Place the duck legs in a shallow dish, add the soy sauce, spices and oil. Marinate overnight if possible, or at least 2 hours, turning them over regularly.
Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Halve the plums and remove the stones. Deseed and thinly slice the chilli. Cover the bottom of a large, a heavy-based casserole dish with the plum halves (turned upwards), then sprinkle with the sugar. Add the chilli, cinnamon and star anise.
Place the duck legs on top and pour over the marinade.
Cover with a lid or foil and cook for 2 hours until the meat easily comes away from the bone. Discard the star anise and cinnamon stick, then season to your liking and serve.
