Ingredients
Method
Rub the duck legs with the salt and leave in the fridge overnight
The following morning, wash the salt off and place duck in a small, deep baking dish and cover with goose fat
Place in 120 °C oven for 2½ hours or until when you pull a bone it comes out clean
Once cooked, remove from fat and discard remaining bones but leave the main one for presentation
To make the glaze, combine honey, mustard and Wasabi & Sesame
Spoon glaze over each duck leg and grill until golden, keep basting the duck throughout the process
Make the Asian slaw by combining cabbage, ginger, sugar, vinegar and lime, add Chili Explosion to taste
To serve, place a generous spoonful of slaw on each plate, place the duck on top and finish with a spoonful of coriander oil
