Emma Duck and orange go together like gin and tonic, orange balances the fat and strong meat of duck bringing a tart zing to the dish. We used Gressingham Duck Breasts in this recipe with one breast for each of us. Serve with mashed potato to soak up all those delicious juices.
This dish would be perfect during Seville orange season (Dec – Feb in the UK) or cheat and use some marmalade for that sweet and tangy taste.
