RECIPE TIPS
DUCK SKIN

Duck is often thought of as fatty, but once the skin has been removed, you’re left with an incredibly lean piece of meat. Don’t throw away the lovely skin though – it’s packed with flavour and can be enjoyed on a special occasion. Put it in an ovenproof dish and roast until the fat has turned liquid and the skin is crispy. Pour the fat into a small pot and store in your fridge to cook your roast potatoes on Christmas Day. Dry the crispy duck skin on kitchen paper and cool, then whizz in a food processor to crumbs. Use to sprinkle over canapés, or mix with breadcrumbs to top a luxury macaroni cheese. It will keep for up to 48 hours.
