Currabinny Cooks: Keeping it simple with delightful duck

Duck breasts with figs

Shimmering green-blue heads, white collars, grey back, the females are brown but share the blue diamond flash under each wing. It is easy to forget or to not notice just how beautiful these birds are. I guess we are so used to them, they are commonplace, therefore they are overlooked. If you actually stop to notice them properly someday when you are walking by a pond or canal, they are really unmatched in their exotic brilliance.

Recent demand in eating duck has had a hugely negative impact on the quality of life of these birds. Most never get to see a lake or pond in their short lives. The intensive production, just like with chicken also has repercussions on the quality of the meat.
