But don’t take our word for it, food writer and blogger Lilly Higgins put her own modern twist on this traditional French recipe! See below.

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 1 Silver Hill Duck A L’Orange
  • 300g Puy lentils or 2 tins cooked lentils
  • 2 Oranges
  • 50ml Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 red onion, finely sliced
  • 3 hands full of salad leaves
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar

HOW TO:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Remove the packaging from the duck and cook in the tray for 25 mins, remove and pour over the orange sauce. Cook for a further 5 minutes. Shred the meat finely. Set aside & keep warm.
  • Mix the juice of 1/2 orange with the apple cider vinegar, sugar and salt in a bowl. Place the sliced onion in a colander over the sink and pour over boiling water. Drain and add to the bowl with the vinegar mix. Stir to mix and leave to marinade for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile cook the lentils in water for 15 mins till just done. Drain and return to the pan. Add the juice of half an orange, a little olive oil and some salt. Stir gently.
  • Arrange the salad leaves in a large bowl or platter. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic. Add the lentils. Top with the duck and finally add the pink pickled onions.
