INGREDIENTS
1 duck leg (200g)
1 medium carrot
1 small parsnip
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the duck leg dry with paper towels to ensure extra crispy skin.
Score the skin lightly in a crisscross pattern, then season generously with salt, pepper, and the chopped rosemary.
Heat a small oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sear the duck leg skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until the skin is browned and crispy. Turn and sear the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
While the duck leg is searing, peel and cut the carrot and parsnip into uniform sticks or rounds to ensure even cooking.
Transfer the duck leg to an ovenproof dish. Arrange the prepared root vegetables around the duck leg and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Slow-roast in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes until the duck leg is tender and the vegetables are caramelized. If desired, finish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to further crisp the skin.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
