There's the old cliché that when a man's better half is out of town that he can't care for himself. "How do you survive?" he'll be asked. Well, on this evening, while she lounged at a resort in Mexico, the answer was duck leg.
One duck leg and thigh was coated liberally in olive oil, salt, pepper, and a "Parisian spice rub. After a browning in the skillet I added a half a red onion coarsely chopped and a green tomato also coarsely chopped. The pan was put in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes covered and 20 minutes uncovered. After removing the duck, tomatoes, and onions, radish greens were sautéed in the rendered fat.
The net result were tomatoes and onions that had perfectly caramelized into a sweet bed for the duck and the greens stayed bright and crisp. A friend noted on the social media that man cannot live on duck leg alone. I made sure to note the Gin & Tonic in the picture.
Solo dinner for the win - 8.4/10
