Whisk in 1 tbsp olive oil, the vinegar and 5 tbsp water; season. Stir in the shallots, cover and cook for 30-35 mins until tender, stirring often. Uncover for the last 10 mins. Preheat the grill to high. Lift the duck from the pan, put on a rack and grill for 2-3 mins until crisp. Meanwhile, bring the sauce to the boil, then add 10g butter and cook, stirring often, for 8 mins or until reduced by just over half. Finely chop the remaining garlic and mix with the orange zest and parsley. Spoon the sauce over the duck and top with the parsley mix. Serve with the sticky shallots. | |||

"Sounds delicious! I think I might try that. Had a bit of an incident with the smoke alarm and dinner last night so I'm a bit wary of anything fatty and the grill at the moment  | |||

"I've had duck before ...so now I want an ostrich " They're tough. You can get ostrich steaks, but mostly they make biltong out of it. | |||
"I've had duck before ...so now I want an ostrich They're tough. You can get ostrich steaks, but mostly they make biltong out of it." Have you tried kangaroo? | |||

"I've had duck before ...so now I want an ostrich They're tough. You can get ostrich steaks, but mostly they make biltong out of it." I don't want to eat it..I'm gonna ride it to work...have you seen the price of diesel .... | |||
"I have never had a pet duck but I like chickens. "You like fluffy ones? | |||

"I've had duck before ...so now I want an ostrich They're tough. You can get ostrich steaks, but mostly they make biltong out of it. Have you tried kangaroo?" No. I've tried crocodile, giraffe, eland, kudu and water buffalo. There used to be a restaurant in Johannesburg called Carnivores, that sourced its meet from culls on game farms. None of it is really much superior to beef, lamb or any of the domestic poultry we farm. | |||

" I have ...it's shite , crocodile is surprisingly like chicken though ..just a bit chewier" I lived next to a crocodile farm - they stank. Never tried to eat one. Have had snake and also stayed in a dayak longhouse and had ulat sagu (the larvae of sago palm weevil) | |||
"I've had duck before ...so now I want an ostrich They're tough. You can get ostrich steaks, but mostly they make biltong out of it. Now biltong is not as good as pork scratchings!" You're just trying to wind me up, right? Nothing beats a proper chunk of biltong - not this thin sliced stuff you buy here.  | |||
