Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 duck legs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium yellow onions, peeled and sliced
Peeled zest of 2 limes, pith removed and cut into thin strips
2 teaspoons minced serrano chili
1 cup red wine
2 teaspoons lime juice, more as needed
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Season the duck with salt and pepper. Place a stew pot over medium-high heat, and add the oil. When hot, add the duck, skin side down, and cook until golden brown. Rotate the legs and cook for 30 seconds more; transfer to a plate.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low, add the onions and a little salt and cook covered, stirring occasionally, until they are softened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the lime zest and serrano chili. Add the red wine, 1/2 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Nestle the duck legs, skin side up, on top of the onions. Bring to a boil, and then cover, place in the oven and cook until the duck is tender but still toothsome, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Transfer the duck and 1/2 cup of the onions to a plate; cover to keep warm. Purée the remaining onions, the cooking liquid and lime juice in a blender. Adjust to taste with salt and lime juice. Stir in half of the cilantro.
  • Mound the reserved onions in the centers of 4 plates. Put a duck leg on top of each, and pour the sauce around the duck. Sprinkle the remaining cilantro over each plate. Serve as a hearty appetizer.

I followed the recipe exactly and the duck legs were overcooked and dry. The sauce was also too sour for my taste.

The duck legs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the duck legs for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe is a keeper! The duck legs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.

Not bad, but not great either. The duck legs were a bit tough and the sauce was a bit bland.
