Duck Legs Roasted With Mustard

Recipe Ingredients

4		Duck legs, thighs included - (2 1/2 lbs)
2 teaspoons	10ml	Herbes de Provence - crumbled
		Sea salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
4 tablespoons	60ml	Dijon mustard
1/3 cup	78ml	Panko
		= (or other dry breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Melted butter
6 cups	1422ml	Mesclun
		= (or other greens)

Recipe Instructions

Heat the oven to 325 degrees.

Rinse the duck legs and pat them dry. Rub them all over with the herbes de Provence. Season well with salt and pepper. Spread the mustard over the skin side of each leg to coat thinly.

Lay the legs in a shallow baking dish, leaving space between them. Sprinkle evenly with the panko or breadcrumbs and drizzle evenly with the melted butter.

Roast 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and the coating is crisp. Serve on a bed of mesclun (no dressing is necessary as the duck juices and mustard will coat the salad).
