It is necessary
-
- Duck legs;
- 2 apples;
- 100 ml of dry red wine;
- 1 orange;
- 5 cloves of garlic;
- 1 onion;
- 20 g butter;
- 30 g olive oil;
- thyme;
- salt;
- pepper.
Instructions
Step 1
If the legs are frozen, they must be defrosted beforehand. You need to defrost it naturally, at room temperature. Rinse and dry the duck legs. Place them in a deep plate. Squeeze the garlic through a garlic press or chop very finely. Rub the duck legs thoroughly with salt, pepper and garlic. Put the bowl with legs in a cool place for an hour.
Step 2
Pour olive oil into a frying pan, add a piece of butter. Heat until the butter is melted. Place the duck legs in the skillet. Fry the legs on each side over medium heat until golden brown. When the legs are ready, set them aside on a plate. Leave the fat in the pan.
Step 3
Pour wine into the pan where the legs were prepared. Bring the fat and wine to a boil and simmer for 7-10 minutes. During the boil, the alcohol component will evaporate from the wine.
Step 4
Chop the onions very finely. Add the onions to the skillet and stir. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 5
Cut the orange in half. Squeeze the orange juice into a skillet and stir the contents. Divide the squeezed orange into several parts and place in a frying pan. Add thyme. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Peel the apples, core and cut into large pieces. Add apples to a skillet with oil, wine, onion and orange. Place the duck legs in the resulting sauce. Mix everything thoroughly. Simmer for 15-20 minutes under a closed lid.
Step 7
Remove the orange peels from the pan and discard. Add salt, pepper and any spices as needed. The dish is ready. Mashed potatoes can be a good side dish for duck legs.
