Ingredients
for
4
- Ingredients
- 2 duck legs (approx. 10 ounces each)
- 4 sprigs culinary grade Lavender (stripped, reserving a sprig for garnish)
- 2 sprigs oregano (leaves stripped)
- 1 Tbsp Orange juice
- 2 Tbsps honey
- ⅔ cup Raspberries
Preparation steps
1.
Heat the oven to 160°C / 325°F.
2.
Cut a diamond pattern into the skin of the duck breasts. Season with salt and ground black pepper and fry gently, skin-side down, for approx. 5 minutes until golden brown. Turn and fry briefly on the other side. Place in an oven-proof dish, skin side up.
3.
In a small saucepan, warm the lavender and oregano with the orange juice and honey. Glaze the duck with this mixture, then roast in the oven for approx. 20 minutes until cooked but still pink. Brush from time to time with the rest of the glaze. Add the raspberries for the last 5 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, turn on the grill function briefly if necessary.
4.
Take out of the oven and leave to rest briefly. Serve cut into slices and garnished with the reserved lavender, with a salad if desired.
