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.

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.
