Duck Breast

Duck breast – there are probably many who believe that roast duck is something you should eat during Morten and/or Christmas Eve. But we need not, of course, roast the whole time, because sometimes we have the urge to eat much more than a roast duck.

With regards to the dish of the evening, the real one is not a roast duck but goose. It is because, according to the legend, the very holy and humble Saint Martin – in Denmark called Morten – try to avoid being ordained as bishop and hide himself in a goose pen but was betrayed by the cackling of the geese and that he was found and forced to be bishop. Therefore, with his new power, he had commanded that every year on November 11 he should kill and eat goose.

The goose is, however, a great meal – and also reasonably expensive – that is why we have replaced it with the smaller and cheaper roast duck here in Denmark.

Roasted duck breast tastes great with, for example, red wine sauce, whole, fried mushrooms and spring onion and boiled potatoes. You can also serve fried duck breast with browned potatoes, green cabbage salad and brown sauce tasted with the duckweed.
