Kumquat Glazed Duck with Arugula
Rich and savory duck legs get a lift from bright, tangy, sweet, and floral kumquat marmalade. A handful of bitter greens rounds the dish out nicely. This recipe relies on pre-made duck confit. You can make it yourself, or buy pre-cooked duck legs, which can be found at some grocery stores. This would be excellent with duck breast as well.

Calories: 340kcal
Ingredients
- 2 duck legs pre-cooked, about 1/4 pound each, store-bought or see the recipe Sous Vide Duck Confit
- 4 tablespoons Kumquat Marmalade warmed and thinned with a tablespoon of water, if needed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups arugula
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil and heat an oven to 450ºF or broil. Bake the duck legs until brown and crisped, about 7 minutes, keeping a close eye on them, especially if using the broiler.
- While the legs crisp, warm the marmalade and thin it with a bit of water as needed.
- Toss the arugula with oil, lemon juice, and half the marmalade mixture. Divide between two plates.
- Spoon the remaining marmalade all over the duck legs and place on top of the dressed salad. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
