Method

  1. Heat a non-stick frying pan. Put in the duck breasts, skinside down then turn down the heat and leave for 10 minutes until the fat on the duck is golden brown and crisp. Pour off the fat, turn the duck over then stir together the orange juice, zest and honey and add to the pan with the cloves, cinnamon and stock. Simmer for 10-12 minutes. Remove the duck and rest in a warm place for 5 minutes. Reduce the sauce a little and season.
  2. Cook the cabbage in a little butter until wilted but still bright green. Slice the duck and serve with the cabbage, sauce and some creamy mash.

    I love duck but had never cooked it before. Served this on a Saturday night instead of our usual steak - swapped mash for rosemanry roast potatoes. Really enjoyed it and the sauce worked very well.

    so easy. appealed to all the family from 20 - 80 years. i could not get seville oranges so squeezed ordinary oranges but added a dessertspoon of home made seville orange and lemon marmalade. seemed to work and everyone liked it.

    Made this tonight and thought it was very good, but think next time would cut down on the honey to sweet for me, but very nice.
