We serve this at 41 Portland Place with our delicious duck confit canapé:

1. Wrap duck legs in cling film and cook in the oven at 120c for four hours.
2. After four hours remove from the oven, remove the cling film and the meat falls off the bones.
3.  Then season the meat with salt, pepper and orange zest.
4.  While the meat is warm wrap it in cling film into a cylindrical shape.
5. Chill the duck in the fridge.
6. Once cold, slice the duck confit and place on top of toasted brioche with a small amount of kumquat jam and serve.
