MALLARD DUCK LEGS

Wild duck legs are the legs of wild ducks. They are highly appreciated by many for their rich and intense gamey flavor. Wild ducks have an active lifestyle, so the meat is generally leaner and firmer than that of a domestic duck. However, this does provide a very distinct flavor that is excellent for stews and slow preparations.

WHAT MAKES WILD DUCK LEGS SPECIAL?

The legs have a rich, aromatic and distinctly gamey taste. The fat content of wild legs is generally lower than that of domestic legs, so they are often cooked slowly to soften the fibers. Despite this, wild ducks still have a flavorful layer of fat that helps keep the meat wonderfully juicy during cooking. Venison is generally considered the healthier choice by most people. This is because the animals live in the wild and therefore only ingest natural food, which is therefore free of antibiotics and other artificial additives.

PREPARING WILD DUCK LEGS

One ​​of the most classic ways to prepare duck legs is to confit them. This means that you slowly cook the legs in their own fat. This keeps the meat wonderfully juicy and gives it an extremely rich taste. You can also choose to stew the legs in red wine and stock, for example, or to roast them.  Combine this with delicious mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables and you have a delicious dish on the table!
