Roast Duck Pizza with Figs and Arugula

Ingredients:

For the Duck:

• 3 duck legs (skin on)
• 15 ml Shaoxing wine
• 15 ml hoisin sauce
• 2.5 ml dark soy sauce
• 5 g salt
• 0.25 g pepper
• 0.25 g five-spice powder

For the Pizza:

• 1 recipe fool-proof pizza dough
• 30 ml water
• 15 ml soy sauce
• 5 ml hoisin sauce
• 10 ml rice wine vinegar
• 5 ml honey
• 0.25 g salt
• 0.25 g five-spice powder
• 225 g grated mozzarella cheese
• 4 figs (sliced)
• 30 g arugula
• 30 ml extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Duck: Combine the marinade ingredients and coat the duck legs. Marinate overnight for best results.
2. Roast the Duck: Roast the marinated duck legs until crispy and cooked through. Shred the meat and reserve the pan juices.
3. Prepare the Pizza Sauce: Combine the sauce ingredients and heat until thickened.
4. Assemble the Pizza: Roll out the pizza dough, spread with the sauce, top with cheese, shredded duck, and fig slices.
5. Bake the Pizza: Bake the pizza in a hot oven until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted.
6. Finish the Pizza: Top with arugula, drizzle with additional sauce, and season with salt and pepper.

Tips for Success:

• Don't Skimp on the Marinating Time: Marinating the duck overnight allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• Use a Hot Oven: A hot oven is key to a crispy crust.
• Don't Overcrowd the Pizza: Don't overload the pizza with toppings, as this can prevent the crust from cooking properly.
• Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your pizza.
