Natalie Coleman's: CHINESE FIVE SPICED DUCK PANCAKES WITH CHERRY SAUCE
(Serves four to six as a starter)

For the duck:
3 large duck legs
3tsp five spice powder
2tbsp honey
2tbsp water
Salt

For the cherry sauce:
350g cherries - pitted and cut into halves
2tbsp honey
1 star anise
1 strip of orange peel
1 cinnamon stick
1tbsp light soy sauce
1tbsp rice wine vinegar or Mirin
2tbsp water
Good pinch of five spice
Grind of pepper

To serve:
12 Chinese Pancakes1/2 cucumber - seeds removed and sliced into 5cm long batons
4 spring onions - tops and roots removed and finely sliced into 5cm strips

Prick the duck legs all over with a fork piercing the skin, then massage the five spice into the flesh and season with salt. Place into a bowl, cover with cling film and leave to marinade in the fridge for two hours, for the duck to take on the spice.
30 minutes before cooking, remove from the fridge so you bring the duck up to room temperature.

Preheat oven to 200C/Gas Mark 5. Place the duck into a roasting tin, cover with foil and cook for 45 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, mix the honey and water and set aside.

After the duck has been in the oven for 45 minutes, remove and drizzle the honey/water over the duck, then return to the oven for a further 35-40 minutes until the duck has crisped up. Check every 15 mins or so and baste the legs with the cooking juices. When cooked, remove and allow the duck to rest for 10 minutes.

When the duck has rested, shred the meat from the bone using two forks and serve while warm.
For the sauce, place three-quarters of the cherries and the rest of the ingredients into a saucepan and, on a medium heat, reduce until the cherries start to give and become a pulp. This should take four to five minutes. Remove from the heat and then remove the star anise, cinnamon stick and orange peel and add the rest of the cherries. Remove from the saucepan into a serving bowl and set aside until ready to serve.

To serve, warm the pancakes as directed on the pack. Separate and top each with a spoonful of warm cherry sauce, some duck shreds, cucumber, spring onion, then roll up.
