We love duck as a treat when it's just the 2 of us and it goes really well with this Chinese style marinade. Prep time doesn't include marinading.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Score the duck breast skin in a criss-cross fashion.
  2. 2
    Blend the honey, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, five spice powder and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. 3
    Coat the duck in this marinade in a shallow bowl.
  4. 4
    Cover and leave for 1 hour or overnight.
  5. 5
    Set the oven to fairly hot, 200c/400f.
  6. 6
    Put the duck on a rack in a roasting tin, reserving the marinade.
  7. 7
    Cook for 20-30 minutes depending on their size and how well you like your duck cooked.
  8. 8
    Put the marinade and 40mls of the roasting juices in a small pan.
  9. 9
    Add the spring onions and bring to the boil.
  10. 10
    Simmer gently for 2 minutes.
  11. 11
    I serve the duck on a bed of rice with the sauce and spring onions spooned over, and sometimes some cranberry sauce to finish.

I used a whole duck and went with US measurements. Even though I didn't make the sauce because my husband was tidying the kitchen and tidied away down the garbage disposal the reserved marinade - it was still a hit.

    Had to modify this recipe a bit, since I didn't have ginger and five spice, but it was REALLY good. Very tasty.

    I agree this was delicious. I roasted a whole duck (6lbs for 2.5hours at 190C) and it came out beautifully. The skin was especially tasty and juices made a good sauce to accompany it. A good reccommendation would be adding a little bit of water into the tray below the roasting rack so that the duck steams as well as roasts - very succulent.

    This is absolutely gorgeous. Sooooo tasty. I used white wine vinegar instead of sherry wine vinegar - still tasted great. Better when marinaded over night, but about 5 hours will do. The duck fat/skin mostly drips off, but is used to make a light sauce - fantastic but I'm sure very fattening! Make this regularly and serve with new potatoes and french beans and a good bottle of Red Bordeaux.
