Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 180 °C fan. Place the duck legs skin-side up on a rack over a roasting tin and roast for 30–35 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, fry the lardons in a saucepan until crispy. Add the finely chopped shallots and garlic and soften for 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Rinse the lentils and add to the pan with the stock and thyme. Simmer for 25–30 minutes until the lentils are tender and have absorbed most of the stock.

  4. 4

    Stir the red wine vinegar into the lentils, season well, and spoon onto plates. Top each with a crispy duck confit leg.
