... duck breasts that I dug out from the depths of the freezer this morning? I normally do a Chinese-style marinade, then oven bake and slice onto rice or noodles, but I need shaking out of the culinary rut that I seem to be stuck in. Ideas please.

Duck's so juicy you don't really need a sauce with it. I'd just start them off on the hob, skin side down to go crispy, and then finish in the oven. Serve with chunky chips, seasonal greens and a bottle of red.

I think it's a sahme that certain recipes suddenly get this naff reputation simply for being out of fashion

You could roast them until they're crispy, make a batch of flour tortillas, shred the meat add cucumber (not seasonal I know), spring onions and a dollop of hoisin sauce. I LOVE crispy duck this way. Far tastier than the 'bought' variety.

Just roasted 'till crispy, carved and served with a fruity sauce. HFW's damson dipping sauce by-product would be ideal.

There is definitely a retro feeling in the kitchen today. Must be the Bank Holiday spirit. Perhaps I should defrost that pack of prawns as well... Loads of good ideas. Keep 'em coming!

Got any peas to with the prawns? If so, prawn and pea risotto for starters.

I tend to find duck turns our oven into a smoke filled mess. I may consider BBQing one over the weekend (small mallard). I have a lid and if there is a reasonable depth or charcoal it should go well?
