  • 500 g duck fat or oil
  • 500 g baby potatoes
  • 1 head of garlic
  • arugula
  • thyme
  • red pepper powder 
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Prepraration:

  1. Melt about 500 g of duck fat, but if you don't have any you can use sunflower oil.
     
  2. Place the duck legs on the bottom of a thick-bottomed pot or clay pot. Sprinkle thyme and crushed whole garlic cloves on top and pour the fat over them until they are covered.
     
  3. Place cut-out baking paper on top and cover the pot. Cook for 3 hours in a preheated oven at 120°C.
     
  4. In another pot, parboil the baby potatoes and sauté in a pan with thyme and garlic.
     
  5. After 3 hours, remove the duck legs from the oven, lightly pat dry from excess fat and cook in a dry pan until golden brown. Shortly before removing them from the pan, sprinkle with paprika, black pepper and salt. Finally, we arrange with arugula.
