Preparation

  1. Clean and dry duck legs. Squeeze juice from a quarter of orange, mix with oregano and rub over duck. Leave to marinate in a covered container in the fridge, preferably overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200°C and roast legs for about 30 minutes, turning twice. When lightly browned, add the remaining orange quarter, sliced.
  3. Continue roasting for another 30 minutes. Add salt and black pepper near the end. Check the thickest part of a leg away from the bone with a kitchen thermometer: it should reach at least 74°C. If necessary continue roasting to that temperature.
  4. Wash and peel beetroot, weigh the portion for use and coarsely grate raw. Mix with olive oil and apple cider vinegar and serve beside the duck.
