Pan seared duck breast with lamb shank croquette and sweet potato purée.
Duck is very versatile and is enjoyed for its rich, tender meat which is usually roasted or part roasted in the oven to help crisp up the skin. Lamb recipes tend to be exceptionally varied, with meals that offer classic comfort food as well as dishes that boast a more delicate, refined flavour. Take a look at the Pan seared duck breast with lamb shank croquette and sweet potato purée recipe below as tried and tested by our professional chefs. My first fine dining plate from school.
