  • About

Both roast wild duck and domestic duck are good with this sauce. (If you use domestic duck you don’t need to rub them with butter before roasting, as they have their own fatty layer beneath the skin.) I like to serve a green vegetable, such as celery with walnuts and orange segments, with the duck, and perhaps sautéed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 3 mallard duck, approximately 1½–2 lb/675–900 g each
  • 2 oranges

Method

Put half an orange inside each duck, and rub the ducks all over with butter. Roast in a hot oven, 400°F/200°C/Gas Mark 6, for about 45 minutes. Keep them warm, then carve the breasts, and serve them with the Apricot and Lemon Sauce, which can be made in
