Pour in red wine and chicken stock. Add rosemary sprig, bay leaves and new spice and ground cloves. Steam duck legs over mild heat in covered roaster for about 1 hour.

Blanch (scald) shallots with boiling hot water, drain and rinse with cold water. Drain. Chop root ends into small pieces and squeeze shallots from skin.

Heat duck fat (1) in a frying pan. Roast shallots in it for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with sugar and continue to fry, stirring throughout, for about 1 minute. Extinguish with balsamic vinegar, bring to a boil briefly.

Add shallots with liquid to duck legs form, finish cooking about 30 min.

Remove duck legs from shallot sauce. If desired, place skin side up in an ovenproof dish and roast under the heated broiler or possibly in the oven at 250 °C for approx. 10 min until crispy.
