The intense flavours of the unique homemade condiment beautifully balance the richness of the aged duck.  Caramelly Medjool date purée and spicy chilli-curry leaf glorify the silky pumpkin mash that provides a hearty companionship to the duck.  A flavorful sauce made with raspberry balsamic, bone broth and soya sauce beautifully brings the dish together. Toasted pumpkin seed exemplifies vibrancy and adds a nutty flavour to the dish as a final flourish. Red vein sorrel adds freshness to this gorgeous plate of food served as part of the tasting menu.   Dry aging the duck is a specific but highly worthwhile process for enhancing its flavour, ensuring the skin is dry, which allows for a particularly crispy finish and intense flavour. Thanks to @georgesmeats_syd for specially ageing the duck for this event.
