Lemon duck

Lemon duck

Lemon Duck is a simple yet elegant dish that delivers incredible flavour with minimal effort. A whole duck is generously filled with fresh lemon wedges, releasing bright citrus aromas as it roasts. Massaged with olive oil and butter, the skin becomes beautifully golden while the meat stays tender and juicy. The lemon-infused pan juices are reduced into a light, tangy sauce that pairs perfectly with fluffy basmati rice sautéed with shallots for added fragrance. This dish makes a stunning centrepiece for special dinners or a comforting weekend meal with vibrant, refreshing flavours.
