Roast Duck with Cherry Gastrique and Orange Stuffing
A festive, restaurant‑style roast duck perfect for Christmas lunch. The duck is dry‑aged overnight, rubbed with a fragrant blend of Sichuan pepper, five‑spice, ginger and brown sugar, then roasted breast‑side down for a crispy skin. An orange is placed in the cavity for aromatic moisture, and the bird is finished with a glossy cherry‑red‑wine gastrique. Served with carved dark and white meat, this dish delivers rich, sweet‑savory flavours and a stunning presentation.
