I made the best dinner I had ever ever made...

[Spacealien2]

Duck breast with cranberry sauce made with ruby port, orange zest and juice. On the side, it was creamed savoy cabbage cooked with duck fat, bacon, celery root and thyme. It's been 5 hours since I had it and I'm still craving for more! The only criticism is that I made the sauce too sweet - letting the port reduce way too much.

I need to find a way to make the giblets a dish!

Marry me.

Or at least next time take a picture, that sounds delicious and I want to fully embrace my envy of a fine dish.

Sounds awesome I haven't worked with duck before hot did you cook it

It sounds incredible - I only wish I could have tasted it. How did you get rid of the duck fat? Did you cook the duck on a spit upside down?

I did it on frying pan, key is to put the duck breast skin side down on a cold pan, otherwise the fat would just get sealed rather than getting rendered. I started with mark 3, then gradually turned up to 5 and 7, over 10 to 15 minutes. After that flipped it to sear the other side for 2 minutes.

I haven't been hobbying much, maybe seeing an MPA once or twice a month, that's it. Still trying to cut down to 8% body fat - 1.5% to go. I just cut off most of my 'friends' and started going to random social gatherings of 5 to 6 people.

This dinner may not meet the Heart Association guidelines, but it sure sounds good and tasty.
