I also bought a couple of Rohan duck legs which I enjoyed the last two nights.

My Wegmans carries D’Artagnan duck breast but not duck legs. The other D’Artagnan product I use regularly is the merguez. Wegmans doesn’t carry it; however, Delicious Orchards does along with a variety of other D’Artagnan sausages as well as the duck breast and several other products but, unfortunately, not the duck legs. So I get a few shipped from D’Artagnan. Have a couple in the freezer right now.

How did you prepare the legs?

They had D’Artagnan duck confit as well.

I rubbed one leg with rosemary, basil and sage; the other with paprika and a  Mexican spice blend; and roasted them gently.

One of my favorite ways to prepare duck legs is via a David Lebovitz method, the faux confit:

@Wilfrid The rosemary, basil & sage rub sounds tasty. @MitchW Thanks for the suggestion!
 

In the past, I’ve prepared them in different ways. One I especially like is a recipe from Sara Moulton for Ginger-Orange “Cassoulet.” On D’Artagnan’s site, there are a couple of recipes I’d like to try: one from Daniel Boulud which braises them with Picholine olives; the other slow roasts them with citrus aigre-doux.

is there somewhere I can buy benton’s bacon in manhattan or brooklyn?

[relbbaddoof]

I've had it from Heritage, but they don't have (as far as I know) a storefront any more. Their delivery is reliable. I think Murray's may carry it, too.
