Duck Three Ways Recipe: Duck a l’Orange, Spiced Pulled Duck Leg, Honey & Soy Glazed Duck Roll
Duck is a versatile meat, it can be enjoyed slow cooked, roasted, in a stir fry and even salads. In a recent research conducted by Gressingham, it highlighted that most of us order duck when eating out, however only a few of us cook duck at home.
Gressingham has challenged us to create a weekend night dinner using duck, and we decided to make a two course meal, warm duck salad with curly kale and orange and balsamic reduction for starters, and duck three ways for main course.
Duck Three Ways is made of:
Duck a l’Orange, duck roasted in an aromatic orange sauce.
Spiced Pulled Duck Leg, slowly cooked in spiced BBQ sauce.
Honey & Soy Glazed Duck Roll, duck wrapped in thin pancakes.
Duck three ways was served with crushed new potatoes, and we really enjoyed the combination of flavours in the different duck dishes. The duck was beautifully cooked and complemented by the sauces and spices. We will be making duck more often!
