  Made this with duck breasts instead of duck legs. The sweet potato mash goes great with the duck!

  Lovely Sunday meal. I only had Chinese 5 spice so i used that instead of allspice. I thought the sweet mash was lovely although it is quite sickly to I think I'd make less next time. Very recommended.

  Great relaxed meal. Made it with new potatoes, carrots and brussels sprouts, first boiled and then re-fried in the duck fat with rosemary and garlic. Everyone loved it, we will definitely make it again.

  I tend to roast the sweet potatoes rather than steam or boil, it gets soft enough to mash and the sugars don't get lost in the water, if it is too sickly mix with some normal potato mash

  Made this for a dinner party and it was very easy and very tasty. Great way to serve a cheaper cut of meat. Will definitely be making this again.

  Very easy to prep, but didn't use the allspice and so duck lacked a bit of flavour. Lovely flavoured juices though. Served with roasted veg.

  Modified the sauce by adding in 2 tbsp of caramelised red onions. Turned out really really well ! Made this recipe with carrots, sprouts and homemade Yorkshire puddings. Amazing Sunday roast!!
