Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Peel and finely slice your red onion[s]

Crush your garlic open by squashing it with the side of a knife and remove the skin

Chop your tomato[es] into wedges

Cut your orange[s] in half

Step 1
2.

Heat a large, wide-based, hob-safe oven-proof casserole dish (don't have one? Start cooking in a large, wide-based pan then transfer to an oven-proof dish) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add half the sliced onion (you'll use the rest later!), crushed garlic, tomato wedges and a generous pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 min or until the onion is beginning to soften

Step 2
3.

Once the onion has begun to soften, add your ground smoked paprika, ground cumin, chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), cornflour and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and cook for 30 secs or until fragrant

Once fragrant, add your chicken stock mix, 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] cold water, the juice of half the orange[s] (you'll use the rest later!) and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up – this is your carnitas sauce

Step 3
4.

Top the carnitas sauce with your duck leg[s] (along with the jelly and fat!), skin-side up, and put the dish in the oven, uncovered for 30 min

After 30 min, remove the dish from the oven, and shred the duck meat off the bone, then discard the bone

Mix it all together – this is your duck carnitas

Step 4
5.

While the duck is cooking, add the remaining sliced onion to a bowl with your red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt and sugar and set aside to pickle – this is your quick-pickled onion

Step 5
6.

Meanwhile, slice your radish[es] (as finely as you can)

Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks

Step 6
7.

Add the radish slices, most of the chopped coriander (save some for garnish!) and the juice of the remaining orange to a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil

Season with a pinch of salt and mix everything together – this is your radish salsa

When the duck is almost ready, add your tortillas to a baking tray (or two!) and put them in the oven for 2-3 min or until they're warmed through (alternatively, add them to a plate and microwave for 20 secs on high!)

Step 7
8.

To assemble your tacos, divide the duck carnitas, radish salsa and quick-pickled onion evenly between the warmed tortillas

Garnish with the remaining chopped coriander

Enjoy!
