Rinse the legs and dry well.Place in a roasting pan. Combine the beef mix with 2/3 cup water. Pour some of the liquid over the legs so bottom of pan is well covered.

Sprinkle legs withthe spices. Cover pan lightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 325F for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Take foil off so the liquid concentrates and legs brown.

When done, remove legs, cool and remove skins. Add rest of the beef mix to pan juices to make a gravy.(add some madeira wine to taste, if you like) Thicken and cook for about 10 min..Place legs on a heated serving platter, pour sauce over legs. Garnish with fresh parsley.
