How to marinate duck breast with honey and soy sauce. This sweet, sticky marinade is Hillfarm's favourite way to prepare Gressingham Duck. Use local Hillfarm honey to create a flavoursome dish that never fails to impress.

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 2 hours
    •    Cook time: 20 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

    •    2 duck breasts
    •    2 tbsp apple balsamic vinegar (I used Aspall)
    •    2 tbps Hillfarm runny honey
    •    1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
    •    1 tbsp dark soy sauce
    •    2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
    •    ½ a lemon grated zest
    •    tbps Hillfarm cold pressed rapeseed oil

Method

1. Score the duck breasts right through the skin, without cutting the meat beneath.
2. Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl, and add the duck.
3. Make sure the meat is completely covered, cover with clingfilm and leave to marinade at room temperature for 2 hours or in the fridge overnight.
4. Heat a frying pan until hot, and place the duck breast in skin side. Cook until golden in colour before sealing the other side and placing onto a baking tray.
5. Cook in a preheated oven at 210°C for 15 minutes, or slightly longer if you prefer it well done.
6. Serve with seasonal vegetables.
