We enjoyed this recipe for dinner last night. It was very easy to make and required minimal prep, which is always a good thing. The sauce is very delicious. Because the recipe did not specify when to add the grapeseed oil, I used it to brown the duck in the skillet. The only change I made to the recipe was to leave on the duck skin. We served the duck with pole beans and mashed potatoes. I would definitely make this again. Thanks!

Hi,
I am a fun person who likes to cook and experiment with different flavours. I am hoping I can learn more about Southern BBQ and Indian curries on this site.
