Ingredients

SERVES 4 – Cooker: 5- to 7-quart – Time: 35 minutes at HIGH pressure

• 4 duck leg-thigh sections, fat removed, excess skin trimmed, skin scored all over, and pricked with a needle all the way through to release the fat

Method

1. Heat a 5- to 7-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat

3. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining duck legs
4. Pour all but 3 tablespoons of fat from the pot (reserve the extra for another use)
5. Add the leeks to the pot and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, about 3 minutes; do not brown
6. Add the turnips, celery, and zest, then the wine and broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon
7. Return the duck legs along with any accumulated juice to the pot, nestling them down in the liquid
8. Bring to a boil for about 1 minute
9. Close and lock the lid
10. Set the burner heat to high
11. When the cooker reaches HIGH pressure, reduce the burner heat as low as you can and still maintain HIGH pressure

13. Remove the pot from the heat; let stand for 10 minutes
14. Open the cooker with the Quick Release method
15. Be careful of the steam as you remove the lid

20. Add the tangerine sections and heat through
21. Add the duck legs back to the sauce to hold for serving, or pour the sauce over the duck to serve
