Place fillets skin side down on a cold pan.
Start with the cold pan, heat it up so that the fat renders and the skin turn crispy.
Duck fat is high in fighting mono and saturated fats, it has fat on it to protect it from the water just like a deep-sea fish.
Cook for four to five minutes on each side until golden brown.
Once they are golden brown on both sides, pop them into an oven-proof dish.
Place the duck into the oven.
Bake at 180 degrees for approximately 15 minutes.
Apple, apricot and sweet chilli sauce.
The apple sauce and apricot jam are both made in Australia.
Four tablespoons of the apple sauce, two tablespoons of apricot jam, one tablespoon of the sweet chilli but if you like chilli add an extra one.
Take the whisk and just mix all the ingredients together till they are blended.
Earlier I prepared some vegetables, we have some carrots, and we have some broccolini and beans along with our sauce.
I take the sauce and I like to give it a nice little fanning spoon, like so, I don’t like it to spoil the crispy skin.
Then I take one of the duck fillets and I like always to slice it on an angle.

Heat & Eat Maryland
This product comes fresh and frozen and the frozen product is 14 minutes in the microwave to heat and the fresh is only 6 minutes in the microwave.
Simple easy and convenient but most of all delicious.
Just open up the box.
Take out the pouch.
Snip the corner.
Put it in a microwave dish and then pop it in the microwave.
We’re going to do it on 900, and because it’s the fresh packet, it’s only on for 6 minutes.
I previously prepared a pumpkin salad to go with the duck.
Be cautious when you’re opening the packet, it’s really hot.
Heat & Eat Curry
Today I’m going to show you one of our new convenient Thai Red Duck curry products. It’s simply heat and eat.
This is the Thai Red Curry. It’s a beautiful flavour that’s not too spicy. The great thing about this product is it comes in frozen packs and fresh packs. 14 minutes in the microwave if frozen and 6 minutes if fresh. Make sure the microwave is set to 900 watts.
You simply open the box, take out the sachet. Now the sachet serves two. When it’s fresh, simply snip the end, pop it in a microwave proof dish and pop it in the microwave. I’m gonna set the microwave for 900 watts and put the duck curry into the microwave and set it to six minutes.
Earlier I prepared some rice for the base of the curry. Always be cautious because the curry is steaming, and it can be very hot. So, I just open the packet and tip it in to the pyrex dish. Spoon the hot Thai Duck curry on to the bed of rice. As you can see it’s two very generous serves.
