When I find a duck breast in my fridge I always use this menu. The recipe is from the website here.To get the best result cooking duck breast I always make sure I cook my duck breast perfectly and have enough time to rest it. One of my favourite TV shows, Masterchef, told me that. The recipe might serve duck breast a different way than me. I usually serve with rice as I am a big fan of rice:-) Then I place steamed bok choy along side the duck and rice. That is enough to make your meal look like it came out from the good restaurant.

Ingredients

  • 3 – 4 duck breasts – bones removed
  • Salt and pepper for seasoning

Garnish

  • 2 oranges – sectioned with the peel cut into thin julienne pieces
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Cointreau or Grand Marnier

I got this recipe from a cook book. The first reason I’m trying this is because I want to get rid of a can of peaches which has sat in my pantry for a while. If I don’t use the peaches soon they will be thrown in the bin, an experience that may be familiar to you. This recipe looks so easy and simple, and I don’t need to buy anything more. I might say I’m not a big fan of sweets but I love to eat this cake so I warn you, maybe one piece may not be enough.

Ingredients (makes 1 cake)

• 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 3/4 cup cream
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 425g can peach slices, drained and chopped
• 100g packet flaked almonds
