  1. DUCK & CRUMB

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the duck leg in a roasting dish, along with all the fat from the packaging. Season and roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until warmed through. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, the grated cheese, and ½ the chopped parsley.

  2. HEAT THE MILK

    Place a pot over a medium-high heat. Add the stock, the milk, and the grated garlic. Leave to simmer for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles begin to form, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water, if necessary. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for a few minutes.

  3. ASSEMBLE THE GRATIN

    Lightly grease an ovenproof dish and spread out the potato and leek slices. Pour over the infused milk mixture. Sprinkle over some seasoning and the cheesy crumb mixture. Loosely cover with tinfoil and roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft (when poked with a knife). In the final 5 minutes, remove the tinfoil to brown the crumb.

  4. REMAIN CALM-OND!

    Place the flaked almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.

  5. FRESHNESS INCOMING

    Just before serving, toss the green leaves with ½ the toasted almonds, seasoning, and a drizzle of oil.

  6. THE PERFECT DUCK DINNER

    Plate up the warm confit duck and side with a generous helping of the creamy potato and leek gratin. Serve with the fresh green salad. Finish off with a sprinkling of the remaining chopped parsley and almonds. Well done, Chef!
