A fantastic recipe. Delicious and perfect even for a dinner party. The frozen uncooked legs I have found it difficult to source, so I have made this recipe base using the confit Luva Duck legs too which makes it an easy weeknight meal. Definitely a winner in my house!

This was super easy and super delicious. We used a wonderful Artwine Pinot Noir (Adelaide Hills) that made it even more successful. Would definitely serve this at a dinner party.
