Duck legs in red wine

Cooked in red wine, these duck legs are tender and full of flavor. Marinate the legs for at least 2 hours in 1 cup red wine with 1 finely minced onion, salt and pepper. Fry 5 ounces chopped bacon in a Dutch oven, set aside, then add the duck legs and cook until starting to brown. Add the bacon, 5 ounces sliced mushrooms and the wine marinade. Cook for about 40 minutes, checking on the duck frequently until done.
