Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 190c/fan 170c/gas 5. Put the duck legs in one layer in a large roasting tin and tuck the shallots and bay leaves around the legs. Mix the allspice with ½ tsp salt and sprinkle a little on each leg. Roast for 1 hour. Spoon off almost all the fat (save it for roast potatoes if you like), then add the wine and return to the oven for 20 minutes to finish cooking.
step 2

Meanwhile, steam or simmer the sweet potato until tender, then mash with a large knob of butter and a grating of nutmeg and season well. Put a scoop of mash on each plate and lean a duck leg up against it, spoon some shallots and sauce around it and sprinkle with parsley.
