1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Trim excess skin from the duck legs and discard.

2. Heat a Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Add the oil to the pot, and when it begins to shimmer, add 4 of the duck legs, skin side down. Cook until the skin is well browned and the fat has begun to render, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the legs over and brown the other sides, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove to a plate to rest and repeat with the remaining 4 duck legs.

3. Pour off all but a few tablespoons of the rendered fat in the pot, then add the celery, carrots, onions, and garlic, and stir to combine. Cook until the onions have softened and have just begun to color, 12 to 15 minutes. Clear a space in the center of the pot and add the anchovies, then swirl them in the fat until they begin to dissolve. Stir to combine. Add the juniper berries, wine, and vinegar, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes.

4. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine, then pile in the duck legs and add enough stock so that the combination takes on a saucelike consistency and just covers the duck. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Put a lid on the pot and place in the oven. Cook for 1½ hours, or until the meat on the duck legs pulls easily from the bone.

5. Remove the duck from the pot and allow to cool slightly. Remove the skin, dice it, and reserve. Shred the meat off the bones and return to the pot. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring to a bare simmer. Add the reserved duck skin to taste, salt and pepper to taste, then scatter the sage over the sauce and serve with polenta or pasta, as you like.
