Another Donna Hay recipe (except for the celeriac mash which I added). Baby and Golden Baby Beetroots baked in a paper parcel with ginger, garlic, orange rind, orange juice, wine and brown sugar until tender. Duck breasts pan fried until crisp and then baked in oven until cooked through. Creamy celeriac and potato mash with cream and parmesan cheese. All three of these worked well together. The duck breasts were perfect; crispy skin and tender flesh. The celeriac mash was delicious and I will definitely be making it again. The spiced beets were nice and the ginger gave them a nice flavour but for some reason, and I can't pin point why, they weren't sensational! I would like to try the Golden Baby Beetroots again as they seemed to have quite a different flavour to the Baby Beetroots but were so small it was hard to get a good taste.
Overall a nice meal.
Rating 7 out of 10 (but I would give the duck breasts an 8 out of 10!)
That looks DEElicious..much nicer than my mushroom and tomato pasta!!
