Duck Adobo
Ingredients List
-
6 duck legs
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
1 large onion, sliced
-
8 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 ½ cups chicken broth
-
1 cup seasoned rice vinegar
-
½ cup soy sauce, or to taste
-
2 teaspoons sambal chili paste, or other hot pepper sauce to taste
-
2 bay leaves
Instructions
Season the duck legs generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck legs, skin-side down, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the duck legs and set them aside on a plate, then drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet.
In the same skillet, cook the onion in the reserved duck fat over medium heat until it softens and becomes translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for another 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the broth, vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste, and bay leaves, then bring to a simmer.
Place the duck legs back into the skillet, cover loosely, and simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the duck is tender and easily pierced with a fork. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer.
Uncover the skillet, raise the heat to high, and cook for about 5 minutes to reduce the sauce until thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Discard the bay leaves before serving.
Chef's Tips:
Feel free to swap out the duck for chicken or pork. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time slightly, as it may cook faster.
You can cover the pot partially with its lid or a sheet of lightly oiled parchment paper to help control the cooking process.
