This is a remarkably good recipe for lunch or an appetizer that will please everyone!  Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 5 hours 13 minutes Total Time 5 hours 20 minutes Course appetizer/lunch Cuisine French ▢ 2 lb duck legs ▢ 4 star anise ▢ 3 clove ▢ 1 tablespoon fennel seeds ▢ 3 bay leaves ▢ 3 sprigs rosemary ▢ 1 large glass of red wine ▢ about 1 cup of stock or water A variety of stock recipes here . ▢ 4 whole cloves of garlic ▢ 1 roughly chopped onion ▢ 2 roughly chopped carrots ▢ salt and pepper to taste Fry the duck legs for about 15 minutes in a large pan to gently brown and render off some of the fat. Pour the fat carefully off into an oven-safe dish a few times during frying. (Don't throw this away as it's great for roasting potatoes or even frying an egg!) Transfer the duck legs into a large casserole dish/slow cooker with all the other ingredients. Cook on low heat for 4-5 hours in the slow cooker/casserole or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. Remove the duck legs from the cooking liquid and set aside for a few moments until cool enough to handle. Strain the remaining cooking liquid/fat through a sieve. Shred the duck meat finely with a couple of forks then place in small ramekins or a larger jar. Pour some of the cooking liquid/fat over the top of your rillettes and either serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. Remove from the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the rillettes to soften slightly. Serve on  crusty French baguette  with a few cornichons and a green salad on the side.

Doug Sipolins says December 17, 2024 at 3:00 pm ![5 stars](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAEACAkQBADs=) I upped this recipe to include 2 whole B grade ducks chopped into big pieces. Roasted etc, had to use a lot more stock, upped the flavorings a bit. After cooking, removed the duck, strained the stock, chilled it overnight, removed the fat which I kept for other uses. Then I reduced the stock to concentrate the flavors. Mixed the duck meat and the reduced stock to the point where the mixture would bleed liquid when squished between your fingers. Filled ramekins, topped with a thin inch layer of new, melted duck fat to seal the ramekin. Excellent. Be careful of stray bones\!

Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 5 hours 13 minutes Total Time 5 hours 20 minutes Course appetizer/lunch Cuisine French - ▢ 2 lb duck legs - ▢ 4 star anise - ▢ 3 clove - ▢ 1 tablespoon fennel seeds - ▢ 3 bay leaves - ▢ 3 sprigs rosemary - ▢ 1 large glass of red wine - ▢ about 1 cup of stock or water [A variety of stock recipes here](https://www.lovefrenchfood.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/bone-broth-recipes.jpg). - ▢ 4 whole cloves of garlic - ▢ 1 roughly chopped onion - ▢ 2 roughly chopped carrots - ▢ salt and pepper to taste - Fry the duck legs for about 15 minutes in a large pan to gently brown and render off some of the fat. - Pour the fat carefully off into an oven-safe dish a few times during frying. (Don't throw this away as it's great for roasting potatoes or even frying an egg!) - Transfer the duck legs into a large casserole dish/slow cooker with all the other ingredients. - Cook on low heat for 4-5 hours in the slow cooker/casserole or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. - Remove the duck legs from the cooking liquid and set aside for a few moments until cool enough to handle. - Strain the remaining cooking liquid/fat through a sieve. - Shred the duck meat finely with a couple of forks then place in small ramekins or a larger jar. - Pour some of the cooking liquid/fat over the top of your rillettes and either serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. - Remove from the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the rillettes to soften slightly. - Serve on [crusty French baguette](https://www.lovefrenchfood.com/french-baguette-recipe/) with a few cornichons and a green salad on the side.
