Lovely treatment of the duck, the timings of get the fat nice and rendered then flip it and cook for another 5 or more minutes, depending on size and how you like it, were spot on. \u00a0Very pleasant marinade, though a hint too sweet perhaps, I would half the sugar next time. \u00a0Seedlip was used instead of gin, as specced in the recipe, and if poured in at the end of cooking and thickened up it makes a great sauce.<\/p>\n
The crisps were nice and flavoursome, but a little too hard, with only the fatter, softer chunks coming out really well. \u00a0Which suggests to me the substitution of oil for duck fat produced a different texture, or they were in for 5 – 10 minutes too long. \u00a0But then without that time many of them would have been some way short of golden. \u00a0So I’m left uncertain where to take that one.<\/p>\n
