Duck!

New Years Dinner, January 1 2004.

Duck Breast – marinated for 2 hours in a combination of fresh clementine juice, Chinese Black Bean paste, Chiu Chow Hot Pepper Oil, and a touch of soy sauce – simply pan-roasted.

Mashed Potatoes – simply with butter, fresh garlic, horseradish, salt, pepper and a little whole milk.

A salad – with blue stilton cheese, löwenzahn (lion’s teeth), treviso, feldsalat, arugula, pear slices and dressed simply with clementine juice, olive oil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

A perfect meal to start off the new year.
