Method

Serve the salad immediately in a large bowl.

Coat lettuce leaves with dressing, then toss with the shredded duck and caramelised pecans.

Cool the duck and pecans slightly, then shred the duck meat from the bone.

Whisk in lemon juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and mayonnaise, and season with salt and pepper.

Whisk Gorgonzola and St Agur in a bowl, then mix in garlic, honey, buttermilk, and crème fraîche.

Cook until a deep caramel forms, stir in pecans and salt, and bake on a tray for 5 minutes.

Melt sugar and cayenne pepper in a hot frying pan and swirl in 50ml of water.

Heat the duck legs on a tray in the oven for 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
