Chef’s tips

If blood oranges are not available use sweet navels or valencia oranges. Replace blood orange juice with pomegranate or cranberry juice for a delicious difference.

    Substituted verjiuce for white wine vinegar. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Absolutely a winner. This was my Valentines Day gift to my husband. He loves me forever now.

    The rub made the dish rather too salty and the orange sauce was a little too rich. A little disappointing

    I cooked this tonight for the family and it was delicious, I had no duck stock so I used chicken stock and I used wine instead of the Ver Juice and it was still divine, family loved it.. I also cut up an orange and stuffed it in the duck and it added flavour to the duck
