We love duck as a treat when it's just the 2 of us and it goes really well with this Chinese style marinade. Prep time doesn't include marinading. Ingredients:
2 duck breasts |
20 ml honey |
20 ml sherry wine vinegar |
20 ml soy sauce |
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger |
1 clove garlic, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon chinese five spice powder |
freshly ground black pepper |
8 spring onions |
Directions:
1. Score the duck breast skin in a criss-cross fashion.
2. Blend the honey, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, five spice powder and pepper in a small bowl.
3. Coat the duck in this marinade in a shallow bowl.
4. Cover and leave for 1 hour or overnight.
5. Set the oven to fairly hot, 200c/400f.
6. Put the duck on a rack in a roasting tin, reserving the marinade.
7. Cook for 20-30 minutes depending on their size and how well you like your duck cooked.
8. Put the marinade and 40mls of the roasting juices in a small pan.
9. Add the spring onions and bring to the boil.
10. Simmer gently for 2 minutes.
11. I serve the duck on a bed of rice with the sauce and spring onions spooned over, and sometimes some cranberry sauce to finish.
