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

  • Salt and pepper for seasoning

Garnish

  • 2 oranges – sectioned with the peel cut into thin julienne pieces
