Perhaps you fancy something different this year or don’t have the budget for an expensive turkey? This Middle Eastern inspired duck recipe is absolutely delicious and loaded with many levels of flavour. Now as much as I would like to say a duck feeds 4 people, I know that Tris and I could easily devour a whole duck between us! Is that naughty and why I’m a healthy size 12 😂 ? Being realistic I think 1 duck would feed 3 if you share the meat around. I made this gorgeous recipe for @hunterandgather website using their amazing avocado oil.
Who would like to try this for a change?

Prick the duck all over concentrating on the fatty areas. Rub with the ras el hanout and season. Add the whole garlic bulb and 1 clementine (cut in half) to the cavity. Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes. Now turn the temperature down to 160 degrees and cook for a further 1 hour 45 minutes. Leave to rest for 30 minutes. Turn the oven back up to 200 degrees for the carrots.
