- Instead of lavender, add some Asian flavour with lemongrass or star anise.
- Chef Mark’s top tip: “It’s important to pan fry the duck in a dry pan until all the fat has disappeared into the skin so it turns crispy.”
- “Instead of frying the duck, grill 70% on the skin side, the remaining 30% on the flesh side, then rest.”
