Duck legs with stewed vegetables is a fragrant and rich dish of Russian cuisine that combines tender duck meat with the juiciness of baked vegetables. Historically, duck has been a popular meat on the Russian table, especially during festive and ceremonial dinners. Its meat has a rich flavor that is beautifully complemented by the sweetness of paprika and the mild spiciness of chili sauce. Baking in foil gives the duck tenderness and juiciness while retaining all its juices inside. The vegetables infused with spices become rich and harmoniously complement the meat. This dish is perfect for a cozy home dinner as well as for special occasions when you want to impress guests with the exquisite taste of traditional cuisine.
