Rosted duck and pancetta with polenta

Ingredients for 1 portion:

– Duck Stincotto
– 1 Slice of Pancetta or Unsmoked Streaky Bacon
– Splash of White Wine
– 150g Soft Creamy Polenta with Herbs
– 90g Cipolline in Aceto Balsamico
– Salt and Pepper to Taste

 

Wrap the duck leg in the pancetta and place in a preheated oven for approx. 10-15 minutes until hot and crispy. A splash of white wine while cooking will enhance the flavours. Make up the quick cook polenta with milk rather than water as it makes it creamy. Place the herbs in the mixture while cooking but be careful not to add too much polenta or it will become too thick. If this happens beat in more milk. A little cream can be added at the end for a richer flavour. Salt and pepper to taste. Caramelise the cipolline in aceto balsamico till they go dark and sweet. Place the polenta on the plate, add the duck leg on top and the onions to one side. Serve at once.
