INGREDIENTS

2 Luv-a-Duck duck legs
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 sprig thyme
600ml Luv-a-Duck duck stock
2 tbsp French style green lentils, cooked

METHOD

Roast the duck legs in a hot oven for about 40 mins.

Place them into a suitable size saucepan with the onion, garlic, thyme and duck stock bring them to the boil then turn down to a simmer and allow to simmer for 1 hour until the meat is nearly falling off the bone.

Remove the duck from the stock and allow to cool.

Pull the meat off the duck and roughly chop.
