Method

  1. Salting and seasoning

    Rub the duck legs thoroughly with coarse salt, bay leaf, chopped tőzike, crushed garlic and pepper, then place them in a jar or bowl and rest them in the fridge.

  2. Resting

    Leave the legs in the fridge for at least 12 hours so the seasoning penetrates the meat.

  3. Rinsing and submerging in fat

    Rinse the salt off the legs, pat them dry, and place them in a pan with the duck fat so that it completely covers them.

  4. Slow cooking

    Cook the legs uncovered in an oven at about 130 degrees for around 2.5 hours, until the meat is soft and falls away from the bone.
