Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/Gas 3. Put the duck legs in a large roasting tin and sprinkle with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and the five spice powder. Put in the oven to roast for 2 hours.
  2. Prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the red onion. Finely shred the red cabbage. Grate the ginger and chop the apple. When the duck has been cooking for 1 hour, spoon about 3 tbsp of the fat off into a large heavy based pan.
  3. Reheat the duck fat, add the onion and cabbage and cook briskly, stirring for a few mins until the onion and cabbage have started to soften. Add the cranberries, ginger, apple and cinnamon stick and stir well. Season with salt and pepper and add the sugar and vinegar.
  4. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and cook gently for 30 mins, stirring occasionally. if the liquid starts to dry out add a splash of water.
  5. When the duck has been cooking for 11/4 hours add the potatoes to the roasting pan and stir well to coat in the duck fat. Return the duck and potatoes to the oven for 45 mins.If there is too much fat in the pan spoon some off into a bowl to use another time for roasties. It will keep in a jar in the fridge for weeks.
  6. When the duck and potatoes are tender reheat the cabbage. Spoon someonto four warmed plates and top each with a duck leg. Add the potatoes around the cabbage and serve. Sprinkle with a little chopped parsley if you have it.
