Pin Recipe Instructions
- Mix the mustard, calvados, oil, pepper, juniper and thyme into a marinade. Make a diamond-shaped cut into the bacon of the leg and rub the marinade completely over the leg. Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
- Salt the leg and bake in a casserole for about 2 hours at 200 degrees, depending on the size of the leg. Gradually add the cider in between. Strain the sauce, thicken with the flour or the grated potato and stir in the dash of cream or soy cream.
- Fresh spaetzle or potato dumplings, broccoli with almonds, glazed carrots or chestnuts also taste great.
About Editorial Staff
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
