Duck

Hey

I got introduced to duck while I was at Uni, but I only really have it when I eat out. So I decided to finally try the recipe for duck with fizzy orange sauce. I cooked the duck according the instructions on the packet rather than what it said in my recipe book just to be on the safe side. 

marinate duck in orange juice and zest, olive oil, ground cumin and salt

Roast for 90 minutes at 170C, basting half way through

The sauce is made from reducing the fizzy orange and Cointreau by half on a high heat. Then add salt red wine vinegar and orange segments before simmering for 5 minutes.

I now have a bottle of Cointreau, so I might have to experiment with making some Cointreau truffles or chocolate and Cointreau cupcakes.
