View ProfileWhen the East meets the West, you get the best of both worlds. Confit Duck Leg is rubbed with an aromatic Baharat spice mix then grilled for a crispy skin and tender, juicy meat. With a creamy pan sauce of coconut, orange and date molasses, the sweet, fruity sauce perfectly complements the duck. Served with oven roasted caramelized sweet potatoes, broccoli for brightness, and fried shallots that adds crispy texture, this is a tour around the world on a plate.
