Hibiscus confit of duck with hibiscus coconut sauce

Serving: Serves 4 guests
Preparation Time: 1 hour
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Oven: 180 degrees Celsius
Easy to prepare

INGREDIENTS :

  1. 30 ml of Willowcreek Basil-flavoured olive Oil
  2. 1 whole lemongrass stalk
  3. 1 cup red onion
  4. 2 tins of coconut cream
  5. 1 cup of hibiscus petals rehydrated in 2 cups of boiling water and strained
  6. Lemon juice and zest of one lemon
  7. Orange juice and zest of one orange
  8. Salt and pepper
  9. 4 Pre-prepared Confit of Duck Legs

METHOD:

  1. In a deep-frying pan or medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the lemongrass stem and onion, frying them until they release their aroma and begin to caramelize lightly.
  2. Incorporate coconut milk and water and bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the hibiscus flower, lemon and orange zest, and juice. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the mixture rest and infuse.
  4. Remove the lemongrass stem and process in a blender, always starting on the lowest speed and gradually increasing until you have a smooth thick consistency. For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a sieve. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Roast the duck legs in the oven for about 20 minutes, spoon the coconut cream sauce into bowls and serve with the duck leg emerged in the sauce and spoon the hibiscus preserve over the meat.
